Consulting services discontinued

LIScareer.com no longer offers fee-based online consulting services. However, if you have a brief question about your job search, resume, cover letter, interview, or online portfolio, please feel free to submit it using the site's consulting form. I cannot guarantee an answer, but I will either try to respond briefly or try to contact another information professional who may be able to offer brief advice. If my site or books have helped you in your job search, I would really appreciate if you'd consider writing a testimonial or donating to help keep the site running. Thank you! -- Priscilla
