Interviewing Tips/Expert Profile
Expertise
Job searching, resumes, interviews. The more specific your question, the more I can help. What not to ask: Rewriting cover letters or resumes; I can make suggestions, however. Also, general questions such as "How can I get a job?" If you have a specific question about an area or overall idea within an employment document, such as a resume, I am happy to help.
Experience in the area
Skilled interviewer and communicator; excellent oral and written communications (resumes, cover letters, etc.). I regularly go through the interview process to keep up and sharpen skills in this area. Professional writer and editor. I am hired to help people hone employment materials (like resumes) and gain better interview and job-search skills.
