Donna Shannon: 7 Tools HR Uses to Cut You

Who is a better authority on job searching than the grumpy HR person who never passed your resume on to the hiring manager? For eight years as a recruiter, Donna Shannon did exactly that – designing hiring processes meant to illuminate the majority of candidates in the simplest way possible. It was her job to make the fast judgments that impacted hundreds of candidates – usually negatively – without a second thought.

With ten years of Human Resources and Recruiting experience, Donna Shannon brings a unique perspective on the hiring game: the insiders’ view. In 2009, she published her book “Get a Job Without Going Crazy: a Practical Guide to Your Employment Search.” Donna has presented workshops in Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas, and continues to work with job seekers individually and in groups.
