Thanks for your kind words and your friendship. The rez writing community is incredibly supportive — you’re proof right here! I’m proud to part of such a giving industry.

Thank you for your comments on my comments at Conrad’s blogs. He leaves with me no choice in the matter. You know, leading with the chin as it were! I did not play football like the two of you did, but boxed till I could not take it any more! I suppose that was how I got the disease started off.

I shall indeed take up your invitation and you can expect insightful comments here too. The two latest posts however are again topics with which I am out of touch and so I shall take a bye but return I shall on and off.

Yes, it is nice that the community is growing.

Thank-you for your kind words.

Don’t worry about not knowing about credentialed resume writers. When I tell people what I do for a living, they are frequently surprised. They didn’t know the entire profression existed.

And yes, I am so fortunate to be able to do what I love while doing what I can to help people during these difficult (but not impossible!) times.

This post rings so true with my Mom, too! Same term, no euphemism.

And, you know, I didn’t even know there WAS such a thing as a credentialed resume writer. I love to see standards and people who match up to them! In times like this, your talents should be invaluable to so many.

But, you know what I like the most about this post? You are so down-to-earth and common sense in your approach. That definitely works for me.

I earned my CPRW credential through the Professional Assoication of Resume Writers (PARW) http://www.parw.com I studied hard, took a two-hour timed test, wrote a sample resume and cover letter based on criteria provided by the testing team and submitted my work to be “judged” by a jury of my peers.

I am in the 1/3 of individuals who took the exam and passed it on the first try. )

If you’d like more info, please feel free to contact me directly. I’ll be happy to answer any other questions you have. (Email linked through my Web site.)

Ramana –

How wonderful of you to have left kind words here and on my own blog. You are truly an uncommon soul. Thank-you for your setting such a great example in our hurry up world. You’ve been listening to my mother. It really doesn’t cost anymore to be nice! Thank you.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate reading all your insightful comments over at Conrad’s blog. Isn’t it fun to meet new people like this, people who you would have zero chance of ever meeting before this new sort of social media.
Keep coming back and I will look forward to any comments you care to leave,

I am no longer in the employment market whether as a recruiter or a job seeker. I have been both in my long eventful corporate life and I wish to compliment you on a very nice post humorously written. I wish that I had had such inputs in those good old days!

What I intend doing is to bookmark this site as well as yours and visit regularly and comment whenever I can. I believe that it will be worth spending the time on both.
