"Conducting a successful job search isn't simple, nor does it begin when you suddenly find yourself in need of a job.  The search requires ongoing preparation -- and a lot of commitment, hard work, risk-taking and luck.  The trick isn't just to get a job, but to get a job that fits you.  The job search isn't simply a matter of who will hire you now, but of what career path you'll pursue."

-CHRISTOPHER PRATT
