About

Recruiter, Traveler and Blogger

My name is Dorothy Sliwicki and I’m a Virtual Recruiter and HR Consultant from Toronto, ON who now lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I’ve been working in the field for almost 10 years and I really love it.  I have worked in many different industries and helped small, mid-size to large companies. I have experience dealing with unions, compensation, labour relations, benefits and all the great areas of HR. Most recently I was the Manager, Transportation Workforce and one of my responsibilities was to hire all of the really great people who put on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter games.  The games were a huge success. So clearly I did my job well!

I also really love traveling. Since March 2010 I have traveled around the world staying in hostels, sleeping on friends couches and most recently living in a van while driving around Australia. I have visited 19 + countries so far and can’t wait for my next adventure because this time I’m bringing my dog Pepper with me.

Ask Dorothy!

Having a well written cover letter and resume are so important and I know exactly what HR folks are looking for so please visit my service page if you need help in this area. Also, I’ve started an Ask Dorothy section of my blog and here is where you can ask me anything regarding interviews, the recruitment process and general HR stuff. Maybe you just had a great interview but never got called back. Maybe you think you have a great resume bu you’re not getting the interviews you want. Maybe you don’t know if you’re answering one of the common interview questions correctly. This is where I can help. I can provide you with an objective viewpoint that hopefully helps you become a better interviewee, employee and job seeker.
