[Job-Discussions] Take time with resumes

[CHELA Robles]

Also, I would recommend you do a thank you letter to show your gratitude for the time they took to interview you as well. I know all that which was said on this thread really helped me with my first job back in 2017 as a braille trans driver at a high school granted I was not certified but I am working on getting certified in literary braille, transcribing and proofreading so that way I can apply to jobs remotely.
