My background consists of over 15 years of career and educational counseling, as well as communications writing for programs in Boston, Philadelphia and Springfield (Massachusetts). My writing background includes publication of an essay in the anthology “Laugh Your Shorts Off” by Margie Culbertson (link below), and online publication of a bunch of job search articles and humorous essays on associatedcontent.com. I’ve also written a few screenplays and produced a couple of comedy shorts. I currently write the blog, Laurie's Job Search Tidbits - Take A Bite (link below). I have a Master’s in Career Development and a Bachelor’s in Music Therapy. What the hell is Music Therapy, you ask? Well, since it isn’t really relevant to the info in this book, let me just say - Google it.
