Hi. I’m David Farrell.
I provide job search tools and coaching to nonprofit professionals.
I started in career services in 2008 at the start of the Great Recession.
My goal was to help the people most in need—and it still is.
I’ve helped thousands of job-seekers:
• Find better jobs.
• Switch careers.
• Become leaders.
If you want to go to the next level with a job you love, you’re in the right place.
I specialize in nonprofit because I know what it's like to lose everything
COVID and wildfires destroyed the life I built in California and left me picking up the pieces in the Midwest.
A few years later, a golden opportunity arrived. With a dream job offer on the horizon, I piled into a 34-foot RV with two friends and their four animals (two cats and two dogs). It was a chance to go back where I belonged—and we never imagined three working adults would struggle through closing on a house. The process (meant to take 30 days) stretched on for months.
As the Pacific Northwest winter bore down on us, there were days when I didn’t know where my next meal was coming from. A hack against U.S. title companies added weeks to our timeline, and the coldest Christmas of my life passed in a barely adequate shelter. It opened my eyes to just how many people are in need all around us.
That's when I knew I wanted to use my skills to help those who help others
