““I had a consultation with Christina back in November 2019. She was able to provide me with the knowledge on how to navigate finding a job in my field. Alongside, she also allotted my resume and cover letter at a very reasonable price with her college discount. This allowed me to not only have the knowledge, but also the presentation on paperwork. With her help I was able to get an interview (which she also helped me with) and have successfully gotten the job. Do I think I would have gotten the job without her profound knowledge and resources? Definitely not. She is great and I will definitely go back to her for any future help.””

“I used MyTris Consulting to help update my professional CV. I had a 30 minute call with Mrs. Waters to discuss my professional accomplishments and the need to update my CV. She reached out to me to confirm key information of my professional career and to make sure she had all the information needed to update my CV. When she sent me the CV I was impressed with her professionalism. My professional CV is an easy to review professional template. She highlighted with my education, employment history and key accomplishments. Her job updating my CV will allow me to apply to different positions within my organization and advance my professional career.

ABOUT CHRISTINA
Hi, I’m Christina Waters, Resume Writer, Career Consultant
STEM Advocate and Professional
As someone who’s personally experienced the frustrations of applying for jobs and research opportunities while building my network and balancing family, education, and work obligations, I know how overwhelming trying to advance your career on your own can be—especially if you’re hearing no more often than you’re hearing yes.
I received a lot of nos before I started to get yeses. I started applying to my dream agency—the CDC—during my sophomore year in 2004 and I didn’t get hired there until 2010! Still, I was able to find great opportunities in the meantime that helped me gain experience, build momentum in my career, and prepare for my work with the CDC, FDA, and various other government agencies and companies. Now, I use everything I’ve learned throughout my career to make the road to finding a fulfilling career in STEM easier for others.
Since 2011, I’ve helped STEM professionals of all levels and within both the public and private sectors to advance their careers by crafting engaging, targeted resumes and cover letters that give them a competitive edge and by offering mentor-ship that prepares them to take the next step.
I draw on my technical skills, professional expertise, and experience serving on hiring committees to create extremely effective resumes for my clients and help them prepare for interviews, so they can land ultra-fulfilling jobs in the STEM field.
With my help, you can:
● Grab the attention of lots of recruiters who want you on their team
● Walk across the stage with multiple interviews lined up for positions you’re actually excited about
● Have a deep understanding of your purpose and clarity on what you want out of your career
● Finally hear those 3 little words: You are hired!
Let me put my expertise and resume writing skills to work to make these scenarios your reality!

Commonsense Guidance for Entrepreneurial Teens Starting Businesses
Today's teenagers are more business-oriented than any previous generation. Believe it or not, economics researchers have determined that 41% of adolescents would consider running a startup. Following an entrepreneurial path is a challenge for anyone, especially a juvenile. That said, there are plenty of tips kids can keep in mind when building ventures that are bound to increase their odds of thriving.
Benefits of Teens Starting Businesses
Parents of ambitious youngsters may be hesitant to let them enter the public square in such a manner. They should remember that many advantages come with allowing their children to follow profit-making instincts. For instance, small business ownership is great for teaching blossoming minds money management skills. It also goes a long way toward helping develop problem-solving abilities that are bound to serve them well no matter what they choose in life. Additionally, it's an opportunity for creative thinking, subsequently inspiring innovation as a means for overcoming obstacles.
Ideas for Teens Starting Businesses
Your child may be hungry to start earning dollars yet not know what type of operation to pursue. Help yours pinpoint a great idea. Web design is a perfect field for tech-savvy students. Becoming a freelance photographer is another option that might be appealing. Cameras can be expensive, so budget appropriately and shop wisely. Maybe the young entrepreneur living with you is musically inclined. Your progeny could start working as a party and wedding DJ, then eventually blossom into a nightclub staple.
Best Practices for Teens Starting Businesses
Like any other businessperson, youthful industry titans need to follow business protocols. Teach them to set realistic goals, manage time, and learn from mistakes.
One area where they need to pay attention is choosing a legal formation. The decision impacts personal liability and how taxes get paid, along with other vital concerns. The most appropriate selection is likely a limited liability corporation. LLCs have tax advantages, offer flexibility, limit financial risk, and streamline paperwork. Different states have unique regulations when it comes to forming an LLC. Check what rules apply to where you live ahead of taking action.
Marketing for Teens Starting Businesses
Once a path has been selected and a venture established, it's time for a promotional campaign. Younger individuals are inclined to focus on digital realms. Remind them that they shouldn't neglect traditional marketing methods. As an example, tell them why business cards are still highly effective. They're more readily visible than emails or texts, plus they're a tangible reminder of someone's availability. Those that pack a punch are unforgettable. Creating a card that leaves an impression is easier than ever with an online business card maker. With this type of free tool, an endless array of color schemes, fonts, and images are right at your fingertips.
When helping teens formulate an online presence, stress the importance of displaying an impressive resume. An official list of their accomplishments should be on their homepages and social media accounts. Suggest they hire an expert to review theirs, so they'll get the biggest bang for their dollars.
There's never been a better time for teenagers to dip their toes into the waters of entrepreneurship. Still, they need advice and tools for bringing their visions into reality. Guide them during the early stages. Then, allow them increasing levels of responsibility until they're earning money without additional input.
