Kari Michael

Kari Michael is the driving force behind Dream Job Fairy — your career compass, business advocate, and personal cheerleader in one. With roots in recruiting and organizational leadership, Kari saw too many talented people struggling to break through systemic noise. She launched Dream Job Fairy to bring clarity, empowerment, and structure to both individuals and small businesses.

 

Her Background & Expertise

 

Recruiting & Hiring Experience
Before founding Dream Job Fairy, Kari spent years in recruiting roles—sourcing, interviewing, and placing candidates across industries. She knows what employers look for, what candidates often don’t understand, and how to link the two with purpose.

 

Business & Consulting Skills
Kari has guided small businesses and startups on key operational challenges. From financial systems to staffing needs, she’s been in the trenches and knows how to turn strategy into execution.

 

Passion for Human Potential
She believes everyone has a “dream job” or calling; sometimes you just need someone to illuminate the path, point out the obstacles, and supply tools to navigate them. That belief fuels her work.

 

Trusted Systems & Tools
Kari stays current with industry-standard tools (recruiting platforms, bookkeeping software, notary tech) so her clients don’t get stuck with outdated approaches or inefficiencies.

 

Mentor & Partner
She doesn’t see clients as customers, they’re co-creators. Kari walks alongside you. She asks the hard questions, pushes you out of comfort zones, and celebrates your wins (even when they seem small).

 

Her Philosophy (in Her Own Voice)

“I don’t believe in fairy dust. I believe in work, clarity, and structure. But sometimes a little encouragement, a clear plan, and someone who understands the system—that’s what makes the difference.”

 

Kari sees Dream Job Fairy not as a theatrical gimmick, but a metaphor: she wants to help dreams take flight. She honors the messiness of career paths, supports pivots, and builds systems so people don’t feel like they’re climbing without a ladder.
