I connected with Dawn Bahan and Joseph Chris Partners through LinkedIn when I was looking to transition from the field to the office within the home building industry. After an informative phone conversation I felt comfortable moving forward in my job search with Dawn leading the way. She connected me with a local builder and found the perfect position. After coaching me up, she sent me in the interview room fully prepared.
Dawn expertly guided me through the whole hiring process and I could not be happier with her work. She is an expert in her field and great to talk to. As proof, I am still

Dawn Bahan and Erica Lockwood, of Joseph Chris, were professional from day one. Dawn was an excellent guide throughout the interview process and had great support if I needed it. I liked how I felt equally represented along with my future employer through the hiring process. I highly recommend Dawn and the rest of the Joseph Chris team.
