Biography
Lonnie Adelman is a 30 year veteran of the High Tech, Consumer Products, and Biotechnology Industries, and currently an Electronic Engineering Technical Expert for a Fortune 100. In his capacities as a founder/President/CEO, manager, consultant and individual technical contributor, Lonnie has recruited and interviewed executives and senior level sales, marketing, and engineering candidates. He has conducted hundreds of technical and behavioral interviews, and has a track record for identifying candidates who “fit” the job and the company culture. He’s been on the employer’s side of the table, understands what the hiring manager’s questions really mean, and he loves to share with his clients. Lonnie is especially successful coaching and priming technical people for job searches and interviews because as a technical professional, he himself has been interviewed hundreds of times for technical positions as an employee, contractor, and consultant. He is familiar with the methods that most technical managers use for interviews, and how a technically qualified candidate can be prepared to play the interview game. He has been called a “Natural” by many of those he’s successfully coached, and has the references to prove it. Need a tailored resume for a specific job opp? Don't understand Linkedin and need help? Contact me! Honesty, integrity, passion, and attention to detail are four of Lonnie’s most powerful personality attributes. Play a fair game, but play to win is his motto. If you want the job, and you’re right for the job, chances are Lonnie can coach you to win that job! Whether your field is Biotech, Engineering (EE or ME), Computer/IT, Consulting, Management, or Science, I can help. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!
