“The superior man is modest in his speech, but excels in his actions.” – Confucius You know the old saying – “the only thing that is constant is change” and that is exactly what the Internet is all about. Job search is no different, and the Internet helps fuel this change. It is almost the two year [...] “You must do the thing you think you cannot do” – Eleanor Roosevelt The job market in New York is heating up, with the big financial institutions leading from the front (okay, not all of them).

Two years ago, the answer to my blog title would have been “no one”. But today, there are more jobs on Wall Street than they can fill (“not true” you say?). Some [...] “Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.” — Unknown I remember the first time I went to Las Vegas with some of my friends.
