Keys to successful online resumes

GALE BROWN SANDLER, Griffin Resume Service ::: Today’s resume-writing techniques have to differ from traditional resumes you’ve been mailing out because of ATS – applicant tracking systems.  Companies now use these systems to wade through the hundreds of resumes they get for every job they advertise and there are no human beings involved in this […]

Change the way you look at things

DUSTY TAKLE ::: Wayne Dyer wrote, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”  This is not some theory in my life.  It has become a principle that has changed my life and how I view it.  I can remember when we first moved back from Oklahoma, and […]

We all have full access to God

ROBERT HAYDEN, DC PhD, FICC ::: Question:  It’s time for flu season again.  What is the latest information about the vaccine options?  Am I better off without it?
