What do you like about this subject?

The most gratifying aspect of providing my clients assistance with their résumé preparation is hearing their personal success story. It is a challenging, yet rewarding experience to portray a client's value to a prospective employer in a Professional Résumé Presentation.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

My goal is to provide one-on-one service to clients, by helping them reach their career goals.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

There really is no right or wrong way to prepare a résumé. The goal is to portray your value to a prospective employer in a presentation which helps get you to the interview process. A Certified Professional Résumé Writer, as with others in the industry who provide the same type of service maintain current relationships with Human Resource Reps, and monitor labor market trends.
