It's been an awesome eye-opener for me on how to approach job posts and the amount of information I need to have before even considering applying for any job. The resources are handy as well. Thank you!
Great insight on how to reset your image on LinkedIn - very good unexplored ways of reaching and connecting to new clients and seeing the process and interviewing pros and cons from the position of the Owner or hiring manager's point of view.
