He was the author of fourteen books on changing jobs and looking for work, and is credited with helping hundreds of veterans find jobs after World War II. He also earned praise for getting laid-off Boeing workers back in the job market, and advised thousands more on how to prepare for the job interview. He worked with individuals and institutions, including the Atomic Energy Commission, Exxon, the Harvard Graduate School of Business administration, the Peace Corps and the United Presbyterian Church.
Haldane was born in London in 1911, graduated from high school there and moved to New York City in the late 1920’s. After various jobs, he became a labor relations consultant and a member of the Society for the Advancement of Management. He was asked to help officers returning after World War II to find jobs, which he undertook on an unpaid basis, and began working full time in career counseling soon after the war.
He founded his career consulting firm, Bernard Haldane Associates, in 1947 in New York City. It was sold in the early 1970’s, but continues to exist under that name with almost 100 offices around the United States and worldwide.
His published works include Young Adult Career Planning: Make Your Success More Certain (1962), Career Satisfaction and Success (1974) and Job Power Now! The Young People’s Job Finding Guide (1976).
Haldane passed away on July 21, 2002 in Seattle, aged 91.view less
