I am a seeker-a seeker of knowledge, a seeker of truth, a seeker of love in its most pure form.
I am a professional resume writer and career counselor and have done a bit of contract work for some IT companies that need user manuals and white papers. My passion, however, is writing about the thing that I know and love the best.
I know how to write resumes and give advice that help people get jobs. I know a lot about women and women's rights and responsibilities in Al-Islam.
I operate two resume writing web sites (soon to be three): http://www.federaljobresumes.com, http://www.gacareercenter.biz; and (coming soon) http://www.geekresume.net
While I do not call myself an Islamic scholar, there are a few areas of Islam that have peaked my interest and driven me to study in-depth. As I learn more about this way of life and the application of it in my life, I try to share that knowledge in the most excellent way.
Peace

I know you've seen them, the small crowds gathered around the lunch tables talking excitedly about the President-Elect. Even though the election's over, the normal lull that takes place between Election Day and the Presidential Inauguration, doesn't seem to have happened. Everywhere you go you hear people talking about the miracles they expect to see, beginning on January 21, 2009. From the boardroom to the bedroom people are talking about the symbol of change that is Barack Obama. In the social environment, in clubs and pubs, around water fountains and soda fountains you hear the chatter....
