Regardless of which networking sites you frequent, your avatar or profile photo says something about you. We both know how you get when you choose your clothing prior to meeting a client or a heading out for a date – you may have pulled out the killer shirt or blouse, but if it’s been wrinkled…
This year, this Christmas, cash flow is a problem. But that’s another story, and shortage of cash is just one aspect of a less-than-ideal Christmas for us.
