More about job hunting today. My years as a headhunter / executive recruiter taught me many great things and one of them is critical for you to understand: it is hugely, massively, incredibly easier to find a job when you have a job. Did I use enough "ly" endings to catch your attention? Please take note.

When you have a job, you can find a better job...always. When you are out of work, for whatever reason, your fault, the company's fault, no one's fault, it just doesn't matter, your marketability has gone down by at least 10 fold. That is a lot of fold!

Is this fair? No, it isn't. But it is true and ignore this at your own risk and the risk of your finances. The old saying: "Never quit a job until you have a job." Remember that one? Some old sayings keep turning up because the kernel of truth is still there...more on job hunting later...bye for now...Jack
