I would prefer chocolate icing to some pink stuff for example and I don't want to be surprised to get a cupcake with pink icing. Of course if there are only pink one's available, then I might have to make do until chocolate one's are back on the market. Does this make any sense?

I am an intelligent guy, but I have never had to write a resume or anything like that before, I have been employed by the same company for 12 years…who needed to make a resume. Anyway, I was lost, this service really helped me. These guys not only were professional, but they made me feel like they cared about. I think they might even be faith based. It is called Job Launch Pad. http://www.Jolapa.com See if they can help you, I just want to share my good experience with the rest of you.

I'll have to send you one of those early photos of you in the kitchen cabinets to post on this blog--Lindsey was interested in all things kitchen, even as a toddler. I'm enormously proud of your recognition. And the apartment looks fabulous! My daughter THE BAKER!

One of the points you brought up was follow-up. I couldn't agree more. As a hiring manager, I've often decided to give someone an initial interview because they sought me out after applying...it really showed initiative. It is even more important after a first interview. I compiled some other good habits to continue "keeping yourself ready" for the next opportunity that may pop up after you've landed that first position (or any position after that).
