Our approach

Prepped is dedicated to equipping job seekers with the often overlooked yet essential skills required to excel in the workforce and unlock a successful future.

With over two decades of experience in the staffing industry, Lori witnessed a recurring theme: job applicants lacked the foundational knowledge necessary to navigate the ever-evolving job landscape. Recognizing the enduring importance of fundamentals, she identified key areas where applicants were falling short. From crafting effective resumes tailored to specific roles, to leveraging social media for personal branding, and even mastering basic etiquette skills, there were critical understandings that were missing from the equation.

Driven by her passion to empower job seekers, Lori embarked on a mission to fill this educational void. Prepped was born as a platform where these essential understandings are taught, enabling individuals to grasp the intricacies and nuances of the job-seeking process. By imparting these vital skills, Prepped aims to empower individuals to confidently pursue their dream jobs and achieve long-term success.

Drawing from over two decades of experience catering to prominent figures in entertainment, wealth and beauty, Lori offers invaluable insights into the common pitfalls and mistakes that hinder candidates from securing their dream jobs. Join Prepped today to benefit from her wisdom and embark on your journey to career success with confidence.
