“The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions.” – William F. Scholavino
The quest for a new job can be taxing and discouraging at times, all the more so if you are unemployed. Companies have picked up their hiring (evidenced by a slight dip in the unemployment rate) after returning to profitability and cutting to the bone over the last few years. The Fortune 500 is a great place to focus your search. Remember, jobs posted on company career sites form part of the “hidden job market” (hidden because they do not always appear anywhere else). Today’s companies range from consumer goods to electronics and collectivly have over 4,000 job opportunities.
