Chandlee (pronounced like “Chandler” on friends—only without the “r”) is a native of South Carolina and uses her middle name as her first one—a common practice in the South. The “E” stands for Eleanor.
Prior to starting Best Fit Forward, Chandlee worked in Career Services at the University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth College, serving as the Director of Career Services for Dartmouth’s Engineering School. She has also worked as a recruiter for a start-up funded in part by one of the world’s largest insurance companies, and edited books on space law and medicine in her first job after college.
Chandlee is the co-author of the Twitter Job Search Guide (JIST 2010) and has over a dozen years of experience in connecting job seekers and entry-level employees.
In 2009, Chandlee served as the “Resume Specialist” for the Microsoft “My Resume Talks” campaign, reviewing and providing feedback on resumes from across the country to job seekers. She also serves as a contributor to Career Hub and Career Collective, two blogging communities that provide career advice. Topics Chandlee enjoys writing, thinking, and presenting on include social media and job search, community building, online presence, etiquette, and ethics.
