Introducing Eustacia English
Simply put, Eustacia English does it all. She’s a business owner, resume writer, career coach, recruiter, talent acquisition leader, mom of two, and the upcoming published author of the children’s book, Kennedy Meets the President. She is also the NRWA’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion columnist – check out her first featured article in this newsletter!
Inspired and energized. That is how I felt after getting to know Eustacia for this month’s Member Spotlight. Read on, and you’ll quickly feel the same.
A Human Resources Leader
Eustacia has accumulated 20 years of accomplishments in human resources and talent acquisition. In addition to her hands-on experience, she leverages an MBA from the University of Phoenix and certification as a Contingent Workforce Professional to serve clients across various backgrounds, professional levels, and industries.
“I just love it – helping people find employment,” she explains.
Today, she is both a recruiter for The Black in HR and a talent acquisition lead at Accolade. At The Black in HR, she partners with companies hiring with intentionality to support diversity and inclusion. At Accolade, she improves the health care process by hiring the very best clinical professionals. For both, she delivers skillful networking, relationship building, mentorship, and job placement.
A Resume Writer & Career Coach
Eustacia has been writing resumes for as long as she can remember. From a young age, she wanted her family and friends to have the money they needed to do the things they loved, and this mindset has been with her throughout her whole career.
In 2020, she launched Resumes On Demand to provide job seekers with a one-stop-shop for their career transition needs. Whether helping clients define their unique career requirements or navigating final salary negotiations, Eustacia delivers end-to-end support for her clients with her extensive HR background.
Her favorite part of Resumes on Demand is helping people land the job offer of their dreams. “Especially working with women – they tend to lowball themselves – and I tell them, ‘We’re not doing that anymore,’” she says. “I’m so happy to be in a position to help people get the compensation they deserve by preparing them for interviews and giving them confidence with the right resume.”
A DEI Champion
Certified in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace, Eustacia advocates the importance of inclusive career services. She fosters awareness of people’s differences by writing to educate readers on critical topics. Her passion for this topic began with the death of George Floyd in May 2020. “People don’t know what they don’t know, and I want to raise that understanding,” she said. She serves as a volunteer writer for The Black in HR’s e-zine.
The NRWA is excited to have her contribute to the new Perspective column – a timely kickoff, as October is Global Diversity Awareness Month. We can expect to see articles on important subjects, including mental health, LGBTQ+, and human rights.
On A Personal Note
In her free time, you can find Eustacia with her family in Cherry Hill, NJ, or jet-setting on a new adventure. Recently married (congratulations!) and a proud mom, she and her family explore local activities like skating or going to the zoo. She is looking forward to upcoming trips to both Costa Rica and Las Vegas!
Kindness, Positivity, and Empowerment
The accomplishments above are merely a snapshot of the impact Eustacia has on communities. Indeed, she is a change-maker in people’s lives, and her dedication equips people to land jobs confidently while also enlightening peers on inclusive, welcoming cultures.
Her presence – filled with kindness, positivity, and empowerment – is a gift to not only job seekers and employers but to all of us within the NRWA. Thank you for all that you do, Eustacia!
