Read MoreI like to keep up to date on things that – even in some small way – may help to automate some of the more time consuming aspects associated with a job search or career management.
Read MoreQ. I know it is a good idea to tailor a resume toward each position. But is it a problem that the applications I fill out will include positions that are not on my resume?

Read MoreThe importance of including quantifiable achievements on your resume is a constant theme in this blog. There is simply not a more effective way to communicate your potential impact than by outlining how you have made a positive impact in the past. But that is not the whole story. Not only are quantifiable achievements important, the structure of these achievements – the way you present them on your resume – is also very important.

As I say over and over… Resolutions can, at times, seem overwhelming. You may be trying to find your way in terms of what makes sense for your career in 2012. I encourage you to make it as easy as possible by tapping into your natural talents and skill set. Strive to be more of the person you ARE as opposed to wasting energy doing something you don't enjoy or – worse yet – something in pursuit of a templated notion of success.
In honor of revitalizing your career, this month's promotion is all about being sure you are on track. I offer an incredibly useful Career Development assessment that helps to point clients in the right direction. More than that, though, it gets to the bottom of what makes you tick so that you can fully utilize the best of you. That's helpful for anyone at any time.
This month, when you sign on for my resume writing services, you can add on this assessment at a discount.
Feel free to get in touch with some information regarding your current situation. I can then respond with some ideas and pricing information.
The time is NOW.
Happy New Year!
