        What kind of FRUIT do you have on your Resume?

        Have you ever had a craving and gone to the grocery store looking for your favorite fruit? What do you like, Peaches? Watermelon? Or those illusive Cotton Candy Grapes? Once inside the store you make a b-line for the produce section and soon you  spot the shelf and crates that have a bushel of what you have been looking for.  I don't know about you but when I buy fruit, I have a routine to carefully inspect, squeeze, thump, and or sniff the item before I make my final choice for purchase.  Did you know you also have Fruit on your Resume?  Whether you know it You do! The question is,  what kind. . .  We are going to get into all of that, In today's class.
