TESTIMONIAL:
“San Francisco is a very small fashion market with a lot of fabulous creative talent and very limited venues for networking; Owen Geronimo changed this by creating San Francisco Fashion and Merchants Alliance, Inc (SFFAMA). Owen is a take-charge person who has been able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits of SFFAMA by offering real information to the fashion community. I recommend that the San Francisco's creative industry connect with Owen and become a part of the amazing network he has created.”

Resumes are being drowned-out by a hiring climate flooded by tons of meaningless resumes distributed to faceless coThe resume is dead! The premise is: In the new millennium (The Digital Revolution), a resume is not enough anymore.
