ABOUT ME

500,000 and counting!

Madeline Mann Headshot.jpg

As the Director of Human Resources at a technology company, I worked with all the hiring managers, sifted through hundreds of applications a week, and was passionate about the fact that it was my job to make sure we hired the best match for our team.

 

Seeing that high volume of resumes, and hearing the feedback from every single interview and application, some very clear trends emerged.

​

I saw so many people making big, but easily fixable, mistakes in the job application & interview process.

 

When I looked at the advice out there, it was clear that so many of the people giving advice had never been steeped in the corporate side of the hiring process. That's when I began creating content, and Self Made Millennial was born!

Since launching Self Made Millennial 3 years ago, I have been responsible for landing career-defining roles for thousands of job seekers.
