Read MoreEqual Pay Day: Why it's important
Equal Pay Day is observed every April to symbolize how far into the year women need to work to make what men did in the previous year, according to the National Committee on Pay Equity. Because women earn less on average, we must work longer for the same pay. American women work full time, year round, and are still paid significantly less than men working the same job. Still alive and well, the gender pay gap is still daunting a subject.It’s a harsh reality. It's gender bias.

"I know it seems like the obvious, but you would be surprised at how many times we are forwarded resumes with outdated information.

"Job searching can be so frustrating. It's such a process. It can become draining, depending on the climate of the job market, at that time. No one likes to be told "no" -- even once.
