Message from the author:

To My Readers,

I am an outspoken, honest, opinionated individual who prides herself on assisting others. As you will see as you read through my blogs, I have a tendency to give information point-blank, without the standard sugar coating or technical jargon you may find elsewhere. What I've found in my time working with peers and clients in this realm of job searching is: not many people can cut through the "crap" and see the big picture when it's hidden by mumbo jumbo. As someone who has ventured down the road to locating a job that is suitable, I know what prospective employers are looking for in a resume. I know what "subliminal messages" are hiding behind the "big talk" and the often-times fabricated requirements. I've made the mistakes, now let me help you avoid them!

My blog is dedicated to those in search of answers and assistance. My email is open to those of you with questions, which I will reply to on a daily basis. If I find a question is presented often, you will likely see a blog written about it to eliminate the need for repeative personal responses. I do the research so you don't have to. It's that simple. Remember: I am here to help YOU. Not impress you with my knack for small talk.
