10 Tips for Setting Yourself Apart from Other Job Candidates
By Lancelot Larsen

During the 2004 Summer Olympics, there was a swim meet that Michael Phelps won. To the naked eye it looked like one or two other swimmers reached the end of the pool at the same time. Although it could not be clearly seen with all the water and hands flashing about, one finger hit the gizmo one second — if that — sooner than the others. But who could tell? The trust was in the power of the gizmo itself.

Client Testimonials
"Working as a paralegal for the past ten years while taking care of my kids, I have found it hard to get my foot in the door for more serious positions. I thought I might have been presenting myself poorly, so I paid for a resume edit. The new version was so different and more detailed than my original. If only I had thought of this stuff ten years ago! Thanks for helping me with this. After completing coursework for my degree this term, I think I may finally be able to land a new position."
