“Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.” – Napoleon Hill Okay, so what is today’s quote all about? Simply put, don’t be discouraged in your job hunt. Not every lead ends in a job offer, in fact, the vast majority don’t pan out. It’s kind of like Lotto, if you have [...] [...] “A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one’s own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.” – Chin-Ning Chu “Launching a career”, sounds kind of melodramatic and it is in a way. The age old question – “What do you want to be when you grow up?” has to be [...] [...] “May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.“ – Joey Adams Happy New Year! Another year has come and gone. 2009 was not one of the best years (to be sure) and will be long remembered by all of us.

You weren’t really paying attention to where you were going because you weren’t in the lead, you were following. Now you are alone [...] [...] “The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win you’re still a rat.” – Lily Tomlin So everything I read lately says that, even when the economy starts to rebound (and many think it has already started), new job creation will lag. Now who am I to dispute that bit of wisdom? But [...] [...] “You can’t always get what you want, But if you try sometimes you just might find, You get what you need” – Mick Jagger & Keith Richards It’s hard to remember exactly when company career sites started to become popular (as in companies started to post jobs directly on their website).
