Welcome Résumé Counselor.com Friends

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

 Yesterday, we linked www.resumecounselor.com website to Mary Ann’s Blog.  So there are now more of you to read and listen to advice, comments, and gripes, whatever.

 A little history:

www.Resumecounselor.com was actually my very first website brought together by Kevin Skarritt of www.Acorncreative.com – way back in the 90’s and is still to this day a successful website – delivering the information for information about my résumé services.

The recent new button on the site that leads to this blog was developed by Emily Bloss of www.websitecleanup.com.  Emily is the behind-the-scenes genius in all we do here on the Internet.

 The Future

In coming months the blog will offer not only helpful advice, but actual booklets to specifically help in guiding you to success.  The first that will appear soon is a booklet on Retire, Re-Create, and Restart based on a Webinar with four panelists. Again the cover is by Acorncreative.com  and the entire process will be available because of Emily Bloss’s genius. 

 Think this is a strange beginning in a recession year.  No, because one of the best elimination tools for corporate is to offer early retirement.  I hear from many of you who ask, “What do I do now?”

 Following this will be a series of “How To” résumé writing booklets that will be added throughout 2010.   So keep coming back to visit.  I think you will like what I am going to add and it will help you in your own career pursuit.

 So you see we are busy here and committed to making your career change or advancement easier.

 If you have a request, interest in a special area, comments – please speak up.

 Again welcome to résumé counselor visitors

Hello world!

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I’m beginning this blog to speak with you about all that I know about resumes, cover-letters, coaching, and life.  Wow!

I’ve been in this business since the early 90’s, some day I will tell you my age, but not now.  I have written for Fortune companies, the little dude, and midways. 

Most of all, I like to write for mid-life careers.  To some that means 40+, to others that means 50+,  and to a whole lot of people that means 60+.   In otherwords, I like the more complicated resumes,  hard to write, those who have suddenly, in this market, found themselves out-of-a-job.  Not because they are losers, no, because they are so good that their salary has gotten so high that it’s a problem to the bottom line.

That is who I like to write for.

It takes guts and willpower to keep going.  I give them courage, because I know that all of life is a series of ups and downs – nothing is ever status quo for long. 

Ask me questions, give me comments, help each other.  This is for all of you out there who have something to say or a question to ask that might help everyone who reads it.  Mary Ann
