Hi, Pam. I'm so glad you found the information to be helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to read the article. Blessings...
Thanks for the (still) good advice in our current economy. Many people think just having a website is the magic bullet. It's not. You must still connect with real people to find jobs.
I think all of your tips are helpful.

Insight from Maya Angelou
My Aunt sent this to me today and in reading Maya Angelou's words I found, yet again, that her gift for honesty and shedding light into the soul is a gift from above. Tell me if you agree.
Like the blood pressure of a black woman in New Orleans,
Still I rise!
Haters/ By Maya Angelou
A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!
When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...
That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed...
It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?
You never know what people have gone through to get what they have...
The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't know my story...
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!
We've all got some haters among us!
Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man/woman to hit the curb (if he/she isn't about the right thing)
e) Raise your children without both parents being in the home
Haters can't stand to see you happy. Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side.
How do you handle your undercover haters? You can handle these haters by:
1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.
A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
3. By remembering what you have is by divine
prerogative and not human manipulation.
Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when it’s your time to leave this earth, you want to be able to say, 'I've lived my life and fulfilled my dreams, now I'm ready to go HOME!
When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at me...Look at who is in charge of me...'
'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

Your Job Search Is No Laughing Matter
I know I’m switching gears here, but with so many of my friends either out of work or anticipating being out of work, I thought I’d offer some straight-shooting resume advice. The key is that you understand why I’m qualified to do so. Prior to becoming a writer, I spent over 13 years working in the staffing industry. I started out as a technical recruiter, progressed into HR management, and worked up to chief operating officer. If there’s one thing I know well, it’s how to evaluate a resume.
