Jim Kuhn has been a CRC advisor for three years. “CRC’s basic mission is to help people find jobs, which I believe is an absolutely critical service during these difficult times,” says Jim.

Recently retired, Jim spent 35 years in management consulting, specializing in operations management. Most recently, he served as a Vice President with A.T. Kearney in Chicago. While there, Jim headed up several profit centers and developed relationships with key accounts such as General Electric, United Technologies, General Motors and John Deere.

Prior to A.T. Kearney, Jim was a Vice President at Booz, Allen & Hamilton in New York City. Before entering consulting, he held several management positions at General Electric and was also a director at Case & Company and the Institute of Management Consultants. Additionally, Jim founded two small businesses, one of which is in its 25th year of operation.

Jim earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette University and an MBA from the University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business.

Why does Jim spend his well-deserved retirement volunteering for CRC?  He gets two rewards from his work as an advisor– “seeing the transformation from being dejected at the beginning of the advisor session to leaving the session confident in their ability to find a job” and “receiving feedback from people when they have succeeded in finding a suitable new job.”
