Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

My personality is that I am Good Natured, Friendly and Appreciative to be alive.

I came to this site because I am thinking about returning to the work force and I am seeking help with my resume and other job search material.

I am Patrick John OMahony, Sr., an elderly gentleman, uhhhhh on second thought make that an "Established Gentleman. Semi - retired, 65, who loves playing with my Grandson.

I am just NOW learning about the "net", the Internet, Social Media, Social Marketing, and social communications. Just NOW learning to use my "Social Brain".

I live in Richardson, TX, USA. (suburb of Dallas, Texas)

My personal email is: patrick.omahony@gmail.com

I know that doctors do not operate on their own family and in the same vain, I am seeking help with my resume and other job search material.

I am impressed that the readers are of good quality type people.
They do not "cut" people down and are very encouraging to other people, especially with ideas and resume help.

To an old man like me, that means the world.

Nice to meet you.
