How Important Are Keywords in Your Résumé?
Here is a list of reasons why you should consider using keywords in your résumé. Importance of Keywords in a Résumé Hiring managers or recruiters going through each word of a résumé to determine the candidacy of an individual is now a thing of the past. Today, most of them have embraced technology and make use of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to shorten the list of prospective candidates. Why do employers rely on ATS? The majority of applications received outnumber the limited vacancies, which makes it difficult to scan each document and understand who deserves an interview.

Working in Sales; An Open Letter to Customers
I understand that people have bad days, because I have bad days, and I would have generally assumed that most people take out their anger and stress in a civil manner (as in not taking it out on a complete stranger.) Presently, and after a stressful year of working in retail and sales, it's getting harder to make the assumption that everyone is generally a decent human being. So this is an open letter to any one who finds themselves grumpily walking into a store or has already done so. It won't apply to everybody, just some people, because I'd still like to believe that almost everyone is decent.

Young Entrepreneur Status
The biggest change of my life all started during the first semester of my graduate program in Psychology of Counseling. Since the beginning of high school, I was told that my kind personality and ability to listen to others would be ideal qualities for a therapist and that I would one day succeed in the field of psychology. After four years of mindless following towards my future, I moved three hours away to get in the best psychology undergraduate program in the state and went through four years of debt to achieve a degree (which I still have not been able to pay off!). Although I found my program intriguing, I still felt as though I was missing something in life.
