| Rose Jonas, Ph.D.,
"TV's Job Doctor." feels estimably qualified to be a career
and life coach because she's been practically
everything: legal secretary, dental assistant, actress, grill
cook, theatrical publicist, public relations director. One of
those who get on a career path eventually, Rose finished
college at age 30 and became "the first lady personnel man" at
a manufacturing plant of a Fortune 100 company, eventually
becoming a human resources director. Feeling entrepreneurial,
she left Corporate America and founded The Jonas Company, an
organizational consulting firm (strategic planning and team
building). As CEO, it's the longest job she's ever had. Her
passion, however, is people and their careers. She works with
company presidents, executives and professionals; developing
career strategies, resolving career or people problems, easing
them out of hot water from time to time, coaching them to
their next steps.
Rose holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the
University of Missouri, a M.A. in Urban Studies from
Occidental College, and a Ph.D. in Human and Organizational
Behavior from The Fielding Graduate Institute. She teaches
graduate HR classes at Washington University's University
College. She was a graduate Fellow with the Coro Leadership Training
Program. She is trained as a Gestalt therapist, and is a
certified career coach.
In addition to over 700 TV/radio appearances
around the country as a career expert, Rose is also a writer.
She is the author of Can I Lie on My Resume? Strategies
that Win the Career Game (2004) and The Campaign that
Couldn't Be Won (2000); as well as a chapter on building
community in Secrets of Successful Retreats (with Ellen
Sweets of the Denver Post, Carol Weisman, Ed., 2003). Her
articles on career, family and weight issues have appeared in
national magazines. She is an occasional newspaper columnist.
As "The Job Doctor," her goal is to use her talents at
hearing the heart's song and to make a difference in people's
lives, one person at a time.
