Lisa Johnson Mandell
Multi-media journalist, author and host, I'm all about helping you find your dream job, with my book, Career Comeback--Repackage Yourself to Get the Job You Want; my Web TV show, This Week in Careers, and my work as news editor on AOL Jobs.
My career took a turn down the job-advice road when I successfully repackaged myself, as a woman over 40 in Los Angeles, to get multiple-job offers as an entertainment journalist. As you may or may not know, most of those jobs go to people under 24 and over 36DD. The Wall Street Journal ran a feature on me and my technique called "Botox for the Resume," and the rest is history.
I'm now enjoying a duel career helping people find jobs they love, and working as an entertainment reporter and film and television critic, and I've interviewed just about every filmmaker and star in the Hollywood constellation. I'm a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association.
I live with my wonderful husband and our Golden Doodle, and in our spare time we like to travel, read, workout, entertain and raise funds for causes we believe in. On occassion, I have to leave them behind for speaking engagements around the world, but other than that, I'm at your service.
