McDonald Carheel said he created a quote that he repeats while helping people secure the job of their dreams.
“Every day is an interview,” he said. “It doesn’t just start when you show up for a physical interview. You’re actually interviewing and networking daily.”
Carheel, 44, owns Carheel Consulting, a workforce development solutions firm. Open since May 2007, it consults companies on innovative concepts to design and develop workforce programs, manage workforce initiatives, provide career development, counseling and job placement services.
“Whether it’s one person or 1,000 people companies need to hire, we figure out how they go about doing it in a very strategic way,” he said.
Carheel Consulting has worked on various projects, including the $12.9 billion Sasol expansion in Westlake. It has orchestrated the hiring of more than 7,000 people and has provided workforce seminars to thousands more.
The knowledge Carheel gained by helping companies solve their staffing challenges is being used to counsel individuals in their search for employment. The workforce readiness seminars help people outline their career goals, draft a resume and cover letter, conduct mock job interviews and understand how to dress for an interview, communicate and network.
A Mossville/Westlake area native, Carheel said he played a key role in opening L’Auberge Casino Resort in 2005, then owned by Pinnacle Entertainment. He was tasked with developing a strategy to hire roughly 3,000 employees.
