Julie Yedoni
Executive Recruiter, McKinley Group, Inc.

 

Julie experienced first hand the blessings and benefits that Crossroads Career Network offers to those going through job transition. Julie experienced a crossroads in her career in 2005 and through her participation in Crossroads found "God's calling in her life" which led to a new career that utilizes her gifts and passions.

"Without going through the Crossroads journey I would have ended up in my same old job with a different company. Crossroads gave me the tools to look at my strengths, interests and passions and than explore new avenues that I had not considered before. Through this process my faith walk with the Lord grew exponentially which gave me the boldness and confidence to walk the path He had for me!"

Julie's experience as an Executive Recruiter provides great insight for the Crossroads Ministry team from both a candidate preparation and employer perspective.

Julie leads small groups for the Crossroads Ministry team where she is able to share her passion and enthusiasm of the Crossroads process to others in their journey.
