I've been meaning to share this for a while now since I received this gift like a month ago, but it's better to do this late than never, right? A couple of months ago, my former co-worker and friend Shandana asked me for my address as she wanted to send me a wedding gift from…
There have been many times during my unemployment where I've read articles and self-help posts on how to apply for jobs or what to do for resumés and cover letters in hopes of unlocking the "secret" to landing a job in my desired field.
