A bit of good advice for anyone.Especially, the ones that will be going to college soon. “The ability to write a well crafted letter will get you very far in life”. My Legal Writing professor told us those exact words on the first day of class.Let me say that 12 years later, he was right. There have been many instances in recent years when trying to get things done i have had problems and then I remember what he said. I go sit down and write a proper letter to the parties involved.Proof read and edit it. Then send it. Almost every time, the response is just what i needed. Just happened again today! Finally,after months, we got what we needed because of a well crafted letter:wink:

On the resume thing, if a person can’t get one right with all the “samples” on line, then they just are not trying.
Resumes are good in big metropolitan areas, but around here it’s still who ya know to a large degree. Networking… and having a good childhood record goes a long way…imo
