Ruth Shapiro, M.A., LMHC is a professional Career Management Counselor and Coach who has helped clients from publishing, marketing and the financial world to health care and the non-profit arena. Her clients range from recent college graduates to middle managers and CEO’s. Her letter-writing workbook has been bought by the New York Public Library, private clients and career counselors nationwide. However, when Ruth went to the library branch to locate her workbook on the shelf, the librarian told her it had been stolen. Evidently job seekers liked it so much that they made off with it. So Ruth now sells her workbook privately.
