David Endress earned a BSc in Business administration
(Youngstown State), and holds certification in human resources
(Princeton and Penn State). He has 30+ years experience as
personnel executive and career coach with Fortune 500
organizations, lectured on organization change at the University
of Hartford, authored many human resource studies and has been
the recipient for a variety of corporate awards for his
contributions and support of corporate goals. David has been a
guest speaker on Fox 10 TV and on CNN’s morning show,
contributed to newspaper career articles and hosted a drive-time
call-in radio program for a Boston radio station.
As a business owner, consultant and personnel director, David has
“walked the talk.” His experiences have allowed him to interface,
at all levels of an organization, and deal with successes or issues
associated with the management of personnel. David has been
involved in all aspects of the interview: as a candidate himself,
while coaching individuals, and as an executive recruiter where
had to match a company's needs with the “right” candidate who
also had specific needs.
David's extensive experiences in the hiring and/or firing of
personnel gives him a total perspective to write this book.
