At the beginning of my work life, I knew that you had to put together a resume and a cover letter. At the very beginning, I didn’t have much experience to list and could keep my resume to one page. My cover letter was to be the shining […]
I used to have a team mantra, that actually motivated quite a few individuals. It was: “work hard, play hard”. We were a bunch of traveling consultants- partly why I’ve been to 49 out of the 50 states- who were mission driven. But we were also quite susceptible […]
