When I was interviewed by Ken Bishop, the Way-Cup Show personality from 89Q, it was very first time for an interview as Julie, the career marketing communications professional and Design Resumes. In the past, I did multiple interviews for print, radio, and television but in my prior role with Wausau Whitewater. Ironically, I was also taught…
Choices? You face them everyday! Sometimes we think about customer service as it relates to Breaking All the Records. Jim Connolly wrote about customer service in What’s your Experience, asking you to analyze what makes you choose one service or business over another and what makes a wonderful buying experience. Jim’s post inspired Robin Dickinson…
I met Mohammed Altaee on the career industry e-lists and watched him quickly grow in knowledge and open doors to new opportunities.

Here’s Teddy and his favorite washcloth… which reminds me of my title, mind spinning… He looks like a Ninja.

I announced that I was leaving Wausau Whitewater as the Operations Manager to focus on the Design Resumes side of me. Though I had the help of board members, volunteers, and others, I still was carrying a…
I made a decision this past week (December 2009) that will change my world. I resigned as Wausau Whitewater’s Operations Manager, a position I have held since 1997. Wausau Whitewater has been my passion. It’s the whitewater course in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin that has hosted regional, national, and international slalom and freestyle whitewater competitions and…
