Today, I had the pleasure of returning for a 2nd year to present resume best practices to educators at the Missouri Business Education Association summer conference at Missouri State.

It was so great to see familiar faces, and was heartwarming to have repeat attendance from teachers who came to my talk last year.

The excellent conversation and questions helped me create some new talking points around an important subject - preparing our young leaders for their first resume and career!

I appreciate the opportunity to join this esteemed group and am already brainstorming next years topic!
