Have you considered how much time and thought you will have to put into a résumé and other career-related documents? Are you ready for the deal breaker—the interview? How long has it been since you were interviewed? Things have changed for sure! Interview coaching should be in your plans. Are you ready to make a decision about the type of work you want to do?
