Pissing Off Many People

The natives are restless.

I’m being harangued asked to post something. And soon.

Problem is, I got nuthin’. Or, at least, so I think. (This is the problem with writing multiple blogs. Nobody has that much material, so who am I kidding?!)

So…. HELP!

Leave a comment and ask a question you’d like me to answer. I, of course, reserve the right not to answer the question(s), but given how desperate I am for material, I may very well answer every single one in scintillating, nauseating, I-have-no-secrets detail.

Let the fun begin!

You know the one I’m talking about right?

A few days ago, an acquaintance contacted me and asked if I’d help her husband gussy up his resume. I put together a pretty mean, slick resume, if I do say so myself. So, I said sure. At this stage in my resume writing and editing career, I don’t charge for my work. Mostly because it’s kind of a no-brainer for me, but also because I egregiously undervalue my skill set.

One of their freebies was an evaluation of Drew’s resume for presentation and formatting. Then, if he wanted, he could pay them to help him make the “most important document in [his] job search…say, ‘Wow!’ to potential employers.”

When I asked him what the going rate was to have them revamp his resume, he said…
