"Mary you've made all the difference in my world!
You've been invaluable to me, honestly. And you made me look interesting
without being JUST a caregiver.
I'm overjoyed !!!"
A little background: This nice lady contacted me a few months ago for help with her resume, but decided to go with another expert. She emailed me last week for advice as she was not comfortable with the work the other expert did for her. The "final" resume made her seem more like a hospital administrator than the patient care provider she is.
When writing a resume you must be accurate - the job seeker will potentially have to answer to or give examples of each statement included. It is also important to keep a client's essence or personality when developing a resume to avoid it coming off as canned or templated.
This note made my day. I hope you have a good one too!

REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This book is a great tool for those who face the challenge of returning to the workforce, particularly after a life-changing injury. Career change can be a stressful time for anyone but for those who face the daunting task of overcoming physical barriers, the process can become overwhelming. This book provides assurance to those going through a similar situation and delivers a framework for the overall job search process. The author is very experienced and knowledgeable in this area and provides a simple guide for those who need a lot of instruction and guidance but also for those who are seeking some general advice. I would recommend this tool for anyone who faces the challenge of today's labor market and especially for those who will be overcoming new physical challenges.
