- Nancy Collamer
Nancy Collamer is a native of Freeport NY, who studied psychology at UNC/Chapel Hill. She spent her early career working in corporate human resources where she learned about interviewing, training and labor laws. But after becoming a mom in 1987, Nancy decided to leave corporate life behind and headed back to school to get a masters degree in career development.
Since that time, she's been helping clients around the country find more fulfilling ways to earn a living on a flexible basis. She has written extensively about careers for a number of websites including Oxygen Media (1998-2001) AARP.com, MariaShriver.com and Job-Hunt.org and has spoken at venues ranging from Harvard Business School to the California Governors Conference on Women. My advice has been featured in numerous media outlets including NBC Nightly News, The NY Times, CNN, Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, O Magazine and Fortune (you can get the full media list here).
