About Us

A Successful Career / Adept Business Services

Adept Business Services has been meeting client needs since 1991. A Successful Career emerged as a division in 2003, in recognition of my extensive involvement in career planning and management. Although located in the San Jose / Silicon Valley region of California, I serve clients across the United States and throughout the world, with one-on-one communication conducted in person or by telephone, email, and fax.

Prior to starting my business, I worked for, and with, executives in high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley. I also spent over two years living and teaching school in Melbourne, Australia, which gave me a great opportunity to experience and appreciate cultural diversity. Over the past several years, I have created and delivered career seminars to diverse organizations, including business and professional groups, and I have held a leadership position in an organization of small-business owners. In addition, I have earned multiple professional certifications and become active in three national careers associations. My resume work has been published in a total of 11 books so far.

Community Involvement

Like many of you, I believe in giving back to my local community, where I have deep roots. In particular, I am an active, long-time Chamber of Commerce board member and Ambassador, as well as a past Vice President of Membership. I also write a career-related column, "Career Smarts," for a weekly community newspaper.
