How important is a Thank You note after a job interview...

Alfred Mariani, October 12 2021

The biggest resume problems...

Chris Mariani, October 7 2021

How can your resume get you a higher salary...

Chris Mariani, September 28 2021

How you look on paper often communicates potential value to an employer. If your resume reads like a list of tasks or a job description, there is no value associated with your background. On the other hand, a resume that  consists of bullet points that demonstrate the skills that make you unique, results driven  and high energy, an employer will pe...
