My name is Tatiana Phipps. I am a first-generation immigrant to America and Career Coach with 15+ years of experience in HR, Recruiting/Hiring/Talent Management. For most of my life, I have been working for huge transnational/Fortune 500 companies where I learned the laws of career development and the art of navigating (and protecting myself from) corporate politics.
My formal credentials also include:
- SHRM-CP
- Global Career Development Facilitator (National Employment Counselling Association)
- Certified Coach (Coach Training Alliance)
- Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and a top-rated resume writer with online services
- Master’s in Psychology
On top of HRBP roles, I also worked as a Recruiting Manager with the US federal government spearheading a massive campaign to bring in 18,000 applicants while managing a team of 40+ Recruiting Assistants in 6 states.
All the steps, hacks, and formulas that you will find on this website are a result of the first-hand experience, observations, trials, and errors made in the process of building my own career as well as insights from developing corporate employees.
My philosophy is that we should only give advice on something that we know really well. I raised my career from the ground up and had to solve multiple and tricky problems, such as:
- How to find a high-paying job on a narrow market without connections, networking opportunities, or even open vacancies (my result: I got my foot in the door of the best employers and consistently found well-paid jobs whenever I needed to).
- How to negotiate a salary that is offered as “set” and “unnegotiable” (my result: I negotiated the “unnegotiable” salaries up by 20%-30% and started new employments at much higher pay than my coworkers). And no, I am not at all a communication wizard; I am, actually, a very quiet introvert.
- How to change careers and secure a job for which you don’t yet have “real” experience – without sacrificing your pay (my result: 3 times in my life, I changed careers having ZERO experience in my target positions – and each time, I managed to convince prospective employers that I was the best fit for the job and increased my previous salary).
- How to quickly grow and get promoted to a higher position (my result: I was offered promotions within just a few months after getting started at a new job. My personal record is 19(!) days).
In other words, I know what I am talking about – and will share with you the tried-and-true tactics that really work.
