This is a general comment for the whole blog. I'm devouring your blog posts and really appreciate your ideas, recommendations, and tools. I can feel my approach to the job hunt shifting. Pretty exciting!  Your preference for periods over commas is slowing my devour rate (possibly a good thing). I'd like to suggest you look up "sentence fragment".  Gratefully,Suzanne Hi Tim!

Some people are just terrible at interviews and don't exude the confidence we provide them on paper. I always tell them to do their homework especially if they are trying to snag their dream job. Surely a little effort will go a long way in their case. What it comes down to is, if you believe it, you can sell it...and if you really want it, then do what it takes to get it.
