He Knows How the “System” Works
Passion & Compassion
David Nojaim is the founder of Step Forte and the Step Forte Method®. He started this company because he loves to show people how to find their next job - and how they can build a fulfilling career. Dave has always had a passion for helping people.
Experience
For the past 30 years Dave has lived with a foot in two worlds. Dave is a teacher, a business owner, a coach and recruiter...and not necessarily in that order. He really knows, first-hand, how the hiring process works.
Industry Knowledge – An “Insider”
His experience as a recruiter, a hiring manager and as a business owner - has taught him to understand (in great detail) – the methodology for getting you noticed by the HR team or recruiter. Dave knows what goes on behind the “wizard’s curtain” (e.g., Application Tracking Systems or ATSs) and how to think like an actual hiring manager, because... he was that person. In his career Dave has literally interviewed and screened 10s of thousands of candidates.
Facilitator & Coach
As a long-time teacher, trainer and coach – Dave has the ability to break complex concepts into simple, easy to follow steps. His goal is to ensure that his client-students succeed every time. He has developed an easy to follow 7 Step Program (Step Forte Method®).
Connector & Networker
Sometimes it is not about what you know. It is about WHO you know...and HOW you know them. When you work with Step Forte, you will gain an INSTANT NETWORK of hiring managers, recruiters, and HR pros. With 20+ years in the business...Dave knows a lot of key people. He will teach you how to leverage your network (and his) so that you will land that next great opportunity.
International & Multicultural
Dave is multilingual, and multicultural. He is an avid traveler and adventurer. He has lived and worked in Spain, Mexico, Germany and Iceland – as well as traveled to several continents. His grandfather came from Lebanon, and was an immigrant to the United States. Dave truly understands the pressures and hardships that immigrants face when they are searching for job opportunities in a new country. He has helped countless legal immigrants (OPT, TN Visa, H1b) navigate the job-finding process in the US to land their dream job. He created the American Way Package to help these international candidates succeed.
