  We all pride ourselves on just how resilient we are, citing challenges we have faced and overcome in the past, and listing examples that seem self-evident proof that we can "bounce back" in record time. We recount how, days or weeks after a surgery or an illness or a tragic loss, we were able to do "this or that" as proof of our own resilience, our inner strength.

These virtual CSIs partner police work with forensic science to get the bad guys off the streets.However, working as a CSI is far less glamorous than television portrays, and the reality is very different than what viewers see characters Horatio Caine, Temperance (Bones) Brennan, and Abby Sciuto doi

It doesn't really matter what your motivation or current station in life are; it is my job to help you successfully plan. An entry-level s

  Unlike most jobs that are defined by a limited set of tasks and conditions, law enforcement officers serve in a multifunction and diverse capacity that is not easily covered by a few entries in an HR book. By the nature and demands of the job, law enforcement officers often find themselves crossing over into other fields.
