Career coach, recruiter, and unapologetic advocate for students. Peri spent over 30 years on the hiring side, deciding who got the call. Now she's in your corner.
It isn't. And the hardest part was never the job market. It's that they don't quite know who they are yet, who they want to become, or how to get out of their own way. You can see it. You just can't say it without it turning into a fight.
This generation has grown up facing pressures no one before them had to navigate, and somewhere along the way, nobody taught them how to walk up to a stranger, ask for what they want, and follow up. We get it. That isn't a character flaw, it's a skill, and skills can be taught.
No sense of who they are, so every application sounds like everyone else's.
Networking feels like bothering people, so they never do it.
Waiting to be picked instead of going after what they actually want.
Find their voice. Build real confidence. Learn how to move.
“I've sat on both sides of this. I've read the resume and decided who got the call. And I've been the mom whose advice landed on deaf ears.
Sometimes it just takes a third person to say the thing you've been saying all along. I'm not here to hand anyone a job. I'm here to help them take the first step, and give them the tools they need to believe that they can.”
These are starting points, not fixed menus. Every service is customizable and pieces can be taken a la carte, so the support fits exactly where you are. The free consult is where we figure that out together.

Peri built Workforce Ready Now out of two lives at once. In one, she spent over 30 years on the hiring side deciding who got the call, held leadership roles at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) and Office Depot, and earned a Bachelor's and Master's in Engineering from Cornell. In the other, she raised two kids of her own and lived every version of the conversation parents dread. The deaf ears. The friction. The quiet fear that they aren't ready.
She's been there. She's done that. And it's exactly why this works. She knows what hiring managers want because she was one. She knows how hard it lands coming from a parent because she's one too. As a Certified Professional Resume Writer and author of The Ultimate Interview Playbook, she gives students the tough love and the real clarity to find their voice, build their confidence, and take the first step. This work is personal. That's what makes it powerful.
