Kathy Bornheimer has over 20 years of experience in recruitment and career coaching. She spent several years recruiting engineers before migrating to the IT profession.

Having her own business, K.B. & Associates since 1992, Kathy knows what it's like to be in a continual search for new business (jobs). Her sales presentations which are comparable to interviewing and marketing materials are her resumes.

As a recruiter, Kathy was repeatedly involved in the hiring process with the employer and the candidate. She could be that proverbial "fly on the wall" and was privy to both sides of the issue. She witnessed the successes and failures (again from both sides) in the process.

As the Director of Career Services at a private college in Milwaukee, Kathy was a leader in connecting employers and students/graduates/alumni for employment and managed the Internship program.

Kathy now puts all of her efforts into her business, K.B. & Associates,
(www.streetsmartjobsearch.com) and continues to address employment issues affecting today's workforce and the workforce of the future. Kathy also authored "The Street Smart Approach to Job Search" (Dorrance Publishing, 2004) and co-authored "Work Makes Me Sick (Prescribe Something Quick)!" (2006). She had been a regular contributor to Technical Support magazine (Technical Enterprises). Currently she is nationally syndicated with three online media organizations, InfoSoft Group; parent company of Milwaukeejobs.com (www.milwaukeejobs.com) and Wisconsin Diversity.com (www.wisconsindiversity.com), Jobing.com (www.jobing.com) and JobDig (www.jobdig.com); online and hardcopy.

Kathy continues to provide programs, seminars and workshops that are related to employment issues. She is currently affiliated with the Continuing Education Career Transition Center of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She serves on the Advisory Board and is one of their career coaches as well as an adjunct instructor.
