In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with William Bernhardt, a best-selling author of over fifty books which have sold millions of copies worldwide. He is the founder of the Red Sneakers Writers Center, an organization dedicated to mentoring aspiring writers and providing them with resources to help build their careers. He discusses a myriad of topics, including striking a work-life balance, determination, and writing. 
 

 
William knew from a young age that he wanted to be a writer. Despite the obstacles in his way, he persevered, and eventually his determination paid off. He ended up going to law school, which was originally just a way to pay the bills, but his industry knowledge enhanced his courtroom thrillers. After writing over 20 books, William decided to use his platform to make the path to success a little easier for the next generation of writers. He founded the Red Sneakers Writers Center for that purpose, which bloomed so much that he now hosts a writer’s conference annually. 
 
Writing is a critical skill now more than ever, Mary Ann comments, especially when it comes to sending out resumes. Things like proper spelling, sentence structure and formatting are incredibly important for communicating your skills and raising your prospects of being hired and staying hired. Many firms are realizing that the best and brightest college graduates they employ can’t write because they weren’t taught to, William shares.
