Dawn,

What a terrific post and one every job seeker should read. By sharing this man’s story, you drive home the point that it makes no sense to screen oneself out of a job by not aligning your skills to it. Selection is what managers do. Applying is what we do.

Dawn

Thanks, Jacqui. That’s a mutual admiration society we got goin’ on!

I love your recap, Dawn, and your colorful ability to drive the story home!

It’s also such a huge compliment to you that your client recognized that the value of his investment was returned even BEFORE the resume/career portfolio ‘products’ were delivered.

Well done!

Jacqui – One of your biggest fans
