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…
Yesterday was part experiment, part challenge, part fun… My friend, Michael Schroeder and I have had an ongoing debate about the time impact of using social media. As a musician, he used MySpace successfully but it was an intense battle of trying to keep up and keep it meaningful to his followers. He knew I…
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.

I have started to look at my business, Design Resumes, very differently. You could almost say that for the last 25+ years I have been running my business randomly.

Social Media & Job Search #6 Can you tweet your way to a new job? Maybe — and some people have! What is Twitter anyway? In my Are you on board? post, I talked about how the presenter at a Chamber event, Gerald Mortenson, Flapjack Creative introduced the audience to the complex concept of social media…
Are you a martyr or do you have a martyr-like personality? I’ve been doing much introspective thinking lately. 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…
At one point, I wrote resumes for local television media on-air personalities and reporters in news, sports, and even weather. During time, I learned their jargon and the insider details in the media industry. For instance, I learned how television market rankings are defined.
