On-ramps can ONLY be built by employers. Women faced with this issue know this.
Let’s stop beating around the mulberry bush - and take exacting action to see that tax policy initiatives are crafted by our government.

Some tips....

Some resumes tips....

# List your technical knowledge first, in an organized way. Your technical strengths must stand out clearly at the beginning of your resume. Ultimately, your resume is going to be read by a thoughtful human being, but before it gets to that point it often has to be categorized by an administrative clerk, and make its way past various sorts of key word searches.
