Resources

FOUNDER and CEO

As a job seeker, you often wander how can I advance my current skills standing out to the next recruiter looking at my resume. I recall my own job hunt experience, feeling as though my resume went into a “black whole” of job applications with no responses or feedback from hundreds of submissions. This left me pondering, what did my resume miss and how could I add key competencies to boost my current skill-sets.

Researching certifications and training classes only resulted in thousand-dollar price tags that weren’t affordable. During my search I found free resources to obtain training, certifications and gain applicable professional development tools giving my resume a needed upgrade. Below are some of my favorite links and hope these websites will assist you along your career path.
