Tag (short for Therese Antoinette Goulet) loves to give people advice, and is ecstatic that some people will pay her for it.

Currently a writer and online publisher specializing in careers and entrepreneurship, Tag has worked as a motivational speaker and had the opportunity to experience the business world from the reception desk to the executive suite in a variety of industries. (A former public relations writer, she thinks that sounds better than saying she has "bounced from job to job.")

As a writer, Tag has produced an abundance of articles, books, e-books, web pages, and other materials. She has been published under the names Tag, Therese, and Theresa Goulet, but has since settled on "Tag," which sometimes results in correspondents (usually those who haven't met her) referring to her as "Mr. Goulet."

Tag's career articles have been read by millions of people worldwide at websites such as AOL, CNN, and Microsoft's MSN, and have appeared in newspapers and online through CareerBuilder in the United States, Sun Media in Canada, and Metro News in Europe.

In hundreds of articles, published under her own name and under the byline "Tag and Catherine Goulet," Tag has answered questions such as:

Tag appreciates the irony that her articles are widely read during business hours when most people should be doing some actual work instead of reading interesting articles on the Internet.

Tag's writing is often provocative, as the links above illustrate. For example, the first sample above was CNN's most viewed and most emailed story the day it was published at CNN.com, surpassing in popularity the latest celebrity news and a story about a cow crushing a minivan (no one was injured except the cow).

Not content to tell people what to do through her own articles, Tag has offered career and business advice in numerous articles written by other people. Online she has been interviewed as an expert for stories published at web sites of CBS Marketwatch, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, and Yahoo! HotJobs, among others.

Tag self-published her first book at the age of 22. Titled Sell Yourself!, it was a career guide for Canadian university students which a review in the journal of the Canadian Library Association recommended "should be in every library." (Only a few librarians took this excellent advice.)

In 1999, Tag returned to career book publishing when she launched FabJob.com (now known as FabJob Inc.) with her sister Catherine Goulet. Tag oversees the editorial and marketing departments of this award-winning Internet publishing company, named "the #1 place to get published online" by Writer's Digest, which has sold hundreds of thousands of FabJob guides (books, e-books, and CD-ROMs) generating millions of dollars in revenue.

While most FabJob guides are written and edited by others, Tag has written or co-authored several of the company's titles including the FabJob Guide to Become a Motivational Speaker. She is also co-author, with Catherine Goulet and Jennifer James, of Dream Careers, a book which reached #1 in career and business books on Amazon.com during a fun online promotional campaign.

In addition to writing and editing career and business books for FabJob, Tag has contributed essays to a variety of books from other publishers, including:

  • a USA Today best-seller published by Simon & Schuster
  • the official handbook of the Canadian Authors Association
  • books published by divisions of Random House and Penguin Group
She was also Managing Editor of Calgary: A Year in Focus, the host city's official gift book for dignitaries attending the 1988 Winter Olympics, and author of a motivational CD-ROM distributed in 65 countries. She is currently writing another book.

A self-described geek, Tag wrote her Master's thesis on copyright law and new technological developments. She has been a university guest lecturer on the topic of Internet marketing and has been designing web sites and doing online marketing since 1996, when Inc. interviewed her to find out how she managed to get a #1 search engine position for the word "entrepreneur."

Tag is still a geek, but doesn't usually talk about herself in the third person except when writing biographical information.

Tag followed the advice in Dale Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People to get elected president of the University of Calgary student body. While a student, she served in editorial positions on the yearbook, student handbook, and student newspaper.

With a Master's in communications, Tag learned about cubicle culture in the trenches, working in jobs that honed her skills in filing, photocopying, and telephone answering, before moving up the ladder to more interesting positions in management, marketing, and media relations.

The favorite job of corporate Tag (shown in photo) was serving as Vice-President of Production for a company distributing music CDs and CD-ROMs in 65 countries.

Tag left a corporate job to start her own speaking and seminar business, which gave her the opportunity to give advice to hundreds of thousands of people in dozens of cities through speaking and media interviews.

As a speaker, part-time university instructor of management communications, and trainer for organizations such as American Management Association International, Tag taught workers and their bosses how to get along with each other and make more money.

Realizing that most people don't aspire to work in cubicles for the rest of their lives, Tag and her sister Catherine Goulet founded FabJob.com in 1999 to help people break into their dream career or start their dream business.

Tag's own dream career when she reaches middle age (she is planning to live to 120) is to travel the world guest speaking and signing books. She aspires to be like the character Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote, except without all the dead bodies.
