“You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there“. – Yogi Berra I’m on the road again this week and writing this from my hotel room. While I’ve been in this city before, it got me to thinking about how job search differs depending on where in [...] [...] “A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.” – Mohandas Gandhi “There are no jobs out there” or “All of the jobs posted on the (insert a name) job board are filled or fake”. I hear comments like these all of the time. There are, of course, jobs out there [...] [...] ” When I was a kid, we lived near a pond that had frogs.

In this case I am referring to either those who have [...] [...] “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” – Abraham Maslow So what tools are you using for your job search?
