GPS Empowerment
Inez Johnson – History
Welcome to GPS Empowerment! I’m glad you are visiting my website.
As the founder, I am passionate and committed to empowering job seekers to gain confidence and clarity in their interviewing and job search skills while helping small businesses and non-profits build strong, purpose-driven teams. Whether you’re preparing for an interview or need workforce development training, GPS is your trusted partner.
I founded GPS Empowerment to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. After interviewing thousands of candidates, I've come to realize that many individuals possess the skills and passion required for the positions they apply for, yet they struggle with the interview process.
I've also observed that small businesses and non-profits face difficulties in finding and retaining the right talent, not due to a lack of qualified candidates or unwilling employees, but because of insufficient opportunities for team development and growth.
Let’s work together to unlock your potential!
"A Background in Corporate Excellence"
A Talent Management Partner at Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations across diverse sectors, including media, electronics, and finance. Notable names such as Samsung and KPMG, among others, is where she honed her expertise. I have reviewed more than 100,000 resumes and conducted over 10,000 interviews.
Through these extensive experiences, I have developed an in-depth understanding of what it takes to succeed in today’s competitive job market.
"Vision for Empowerment"
Rooted in years of experience in human resources and recruitment, GPS Empowerment was formed to share my insights with job seekers and small businesses alike. I have identified challenges candidates face during interviews and the need for small companies to strengthen their recruitment strategies and build high-performing teams. In response, I created three key offerings:
​
-
Recruitment Training: A hands-on, interactive program designed to equip recruiters and hiring managers with improved hiring practices.
-
Keynote Speaker and Symposium Discussions: One-time structured events aimed at educating and informing stakeholders—such as hiring managers and potential candidates—about the recruitment process and best practices.
-
