As a blogger who loves to write, I keep my eyes open for opportunities. When Laura DeCarlo, Executive Director of Career Directors International (CDI) advised us to help her make the topic of Resume Writing a permanent topic at Business Week’s Business Exchange, I went over and contributed some of my posts to the site….

I Can’t Hear You!
I’ve been really quiet on Twitter, Facebook, and my blog for the last week or so. I’ve been blessed with many new Design Resumes projects and clients so that is part of the reason I’ve been so quiet. But the other reason is that for the first time in my life, I have an ear…
Why I Moved to Headway
I’m one of those self-taught people. I have taught myself more software than most people use in a lifetime. But I don’t have a desire to figure out code, I like to write — not learn complex computer languages. I’m not a stranger to web design software either. I taught myself and worked in Dreamweaver…
Keep on when life gets tough!
In 1992, we knew a home office was part of the plan when we bought this house. I met with my Design Resumes clients upstairs while my husband built the office downstairs in the room off the driveway. Then I moved down to a convenient and well-equipped office that unfortunately was always cold. In 2005,…
Lifelong career planners – I love my clients #2
Building relationships with my clients is important to me. I need to understand their goals, dreams, objectives, and concerns about their job search to create an effective career marketing strategy.

Moving from Online to Real Life

Lest anyone doubt that online friendships can’t convert to real life encounters, Sunday’s reception and the warm hugs was proof to me that you can get to know people online and grow business and personal connections. I am so excited to…
I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane
2010 is a year of changes, doing things different for me. When I decided to resign from Wausau Whitewater as the Operations Manager, I had many reasons. But one was primary. My friend and the President of Wausau Whitewater at the time, Michael Schroeder, understood completely when I told him this: “With the history of…
Relationships Matter
The post, Value of Social Media? YOU Tell Me created quite a bit of dialog in the comment section. It also generated new questions about the use of social media and the time involved. My post was in my head when I posted the original Wall Street Journal link to Facebook. My friend, Michael Schroeder,…
Value of Social Media? You Tell Me
I’ve talked about how social media has worked for me in past posts. I am passionate about social media and I know that makes it seem like I have a bias. But I have used all forms of marketing for years. I’m not a new kid on the block. My Design Resumes business is more…
