What's your favorite part about being a CAREEREALISM-Approved Career Expert?

Today's employment marketplace requires keenly focused job seekers who understand what 'active career management' means and are also aware of the tools needed to be successful in landing their next job. As an "employment evangelist," I love sharing knowledge on what those tools are and by empowering people…it's all about helping people gain competencies regarding their personal brand and career assets.
