Busting the Post-Grad Career Blues by Amanda Guralski - Mar, 2010 I remember visiting the bookstore with a friend back in 2006. We were high school seniors, deeply-immersed in the college application process. Way back in the career section, we stumbled upon a book that listed the average salary of each job.

What Shopping Habits Say About A Job Seeker by J.T. O'Donnell - Mar, 2010 If I had to choose the biggest mistake I see job seekers making right now, I’d say it’s diving into a job search without properly determining their value to potential employers.

Job Hunting? Three ways Your Competition Is Killing Your Chances by Laura Smith-Proulx - Mar, 2010 Recently, I talked with a jobseeker who had been laid off from a company in shutdown mode.
