Lisa Johnson Mandell is an award-winning multi-media journalist, author and Career Image Specialist. She has been featured in The Wall St. Journal, as well as on Oprah, Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray, Bravo, Forbes, The CBS Early Show, The Today Show, FOX News and many, many other media outlets.

Mandell never thought that her 25 plus years of experience would be viewed as a liability, but, while searching for work as a film critic and entertainment reporter in her native Los Angeles, she found that the precious few jobs available were going to the young, nubile and unskilled. So she started a personal campaign to give herself a career makeover. She “Botoxed” her resume, rejuvenated her image, and worked the web like crazy, and almost instantly received more job offers than she could handle.

Mandell’s experience updating her electronic image was detailed in a 2008 Wall Street Journal article. She expanded on the article, researching what other women had done and what the experts had to say about finding the perfect job during these challenging times, and wrote Career Comeback: Repackage Yourself to Get the Job You Want.

At the podium, Mandell shares her own success story and brings to life the advice offered in Career Comeback. Audience members learn how to “botox” their resume, are exposed to tech-savvy tricks for starting and improving their own website, are shown the ropes of online networking, and given tips to updating a wardrobe. Savvy audiences know that looking young and staying technologically current is crucial to competing in an increasingly tough job market. She shares the secrets that will get mid-career job seekers noticed and on the payroll.

Mandell graduated cum laude with a degree in journalism, and has authored several books released by major publishers. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband James and their Golden Doodle, “KC.” When she is not helping people land jobs they love, she’s probably interviewing movie stars or sitting in a dark theater, preparing film reviews for Entercom radio stations in major markets, and for Filmazing.com.
