Book Author
For 20 years before, and for a while during my husband's cancer, I was a career, medical school and residency applications advisor and author.
I have had two books traditionally published in my subject-matter area of careers:
Career Cupid: Your Guide to Landing and Loving your Dream Job (Writing on Stone Press)
I also edited two editions of the campus-published best seller, Queen's Best Resumes & Cover Letters.
Praise
for Just What the Doctor Ordered"Great resource for all students (and parents) from high school to grad school"
"If you're thinking about medical school, you need this!"
for Career Cupid
"A fun, yet substantial look at career planning."
"This book is a great read. Christine Fader's style of writing has the ability to capture your attention the way a good friend telling a funny story does."
