About Me

A former consumer marketing executive, I started my career with Nestle USA and have since worked in product management on premium brands including Nestle Quik, Tree Top Apple Juice, Mauna Loa Macadamias and Meguiar’s Car Wax. I was most recently Vice President of Marketing for a private equity owned food company in Southern California.

And then I decided to write and create online. Full-time.

Tim’s Strategy began in September 2008 as a way to give back to the community that supported me during my own 2007 job search. I write and create from the perspective of a hiring manager and a former job seeker focusing on the strategy and psychology of successful job search. As well as on the larger topic of career and its impact on life. I live with my wife and three kids in Mission Viejo, California.

Tim’s Strategy – Ideas for Job Search, Career and Life has blossomed into a fast-growing blog, website, and LinkedIn group. The blog has been featured on Salon.com as well as online versions of the Chicago Sun Times, San Diego Union Tribune, Reuters News Service and the Orange County Register.

And here on Brazen Careerist!

In a very crowded field, Tim’s Strategy is steadily moving up on the list of top career-related blogs.
