I found that a whole lot of folks asked, and kind of anxiously. I said, "I've been tuning for two years" since I had, truly, finished the two year course a couple of months before. I mentioned having the diploma if they asked about certification. I didn't usually talk about the "Honours" or the 4 point average -- boasting always sounds weak. In the end, it's your work that will count, not what you say about your brilliant student career. <grin> Word of mouth from good jobs and happy customers is what builds a business. It's really very simple -- you just take your time and listen to what they say, and provide good value, over and over again. If, after two or three years, you find that you still NEED advertising, you're doing something wrong. MHO ... Susan
