About Miriam Spinner
Hi, I am Miriam. You can call me Mimi too. I help professionals get the right job.
I failed at English and Social Science when I was in high school, so it was no surprise that I graduated college with a degree in Engineering. My interests were in making business processes more efficient, and working at the auto plant as one of three female engineers seemed like a perfect fit. Until it wasn’t. Let’s just say it was an experience that drove me to do my first career pivot to the financial industry. I leveraged my Six Sigma background to convert broken processes into a smooth and slick experience. It became part of my DNA – taking the non-value steps out, and inserting it with technology and tools.
My aha moment was after experiencing the job process on both ends. I was the interviewee and the interviewer. This process sucked. Hiring managers had:
- no expertise on hiring talent
- resumes were read 5 seconds prior to the interview
- candidates were ghosted after the interview, and
- less than 3% of online job applicants even got an interview
