    What’s your favorite part about being a CAREEREALISM-Approved Career Expert?
    Most of my business is educating job seekers on how to launch an effective career campaign. There is nothing better than having an e-mail appear in my inbox from a client thanking me for advice that helped her to move ahead and achieve her career goal. Really, it was her intelligence and motivation that won her the job, she just needed the tools to succeed. Saving my clients’ time, money and stress by reducing the length of a job search feels amazing.
