No matter how many amateur "Tax Professionals" you run into on the road, get yourself a professional! Don't be fooled by those who say they can outsmart the government, that will never happen! Big Brother is always watching!
Don't pad your resume with endless pages of detail, recruiters know the specifics of your job.
And no matter how you twist it, tweak it, articulate it to death!--- Pushing a laundry buggy is not job coverage time!
Finally, don't give up! This industry is in desperate need of replacements. When the rest of us have been planted and are pushing up daises, someone will have to carry on!
