QUOTES FROM KATE

• “I think it's a chance to reassess your resume and reassess your gaps in terms of your missing skills and knowledge and things like that and find a way to address them. Maybe take the next couple of weeks to do so. While the market is on the rise and take some courses, revamp your resume and off to the races.”
• “A resume has to reflect who you are. And respectfully never will because it's not you and it doesn't know you.”
