By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter Writing a resume is a difficult experience for most people . . . and it shows. Most I read are awful. They just don't measure up. On a typical Monday morning, I arrive to 175 - 225 new resumes and, if I'm lucky, two may vaguely fit what a client is looking for.

"No B. S. Resume Advice" is exactly that-- no b. s. resume advice. It contains specific actionable ...

Your answer to this question will set the tone for the rest of the interview and either ...

Our son is now almost 10 and a terrific reader. When he was “little,” he was a very active child . . . or at least he seemed that way to us older parents raising him. Each night, as part of our bedtime ritual, we would get him into bed and read stories to him. When he was very young, he would finish lines of the story and that made us think he was a genius and reading at a ridiculously young age (he wasn’t; he had memorized the story). Now that he is almost 10 and able to read very well on his own, he begs for extra time to finish a chapter before we turn his lights out. And the fact ...

I feel like one of the Smothers Brothers. Mom AND Dad always like my brother best. He was always the competent one and I was a baby and by definition incompetent.
