February 26, 2013 It is no big secret that my interests are best described as eclectic. My tastes in just about everything are all over the place. So, while in the Army-Navy store in Belfast, I was beside-myself happy with this little discovery. It is an Army Survival Manual! The date on the front is 1970, but inside it is dated from 1957.

If you think finding a job is frustrating, prepare to get even more frustrated.
If you’re great at networking, filling out online applications and following up, chances are, you’ve landed an interview or two. Good work. That’s not so easy these days. But your work isn’t over.
In fact, your work is just beginning. The interview is where your true job-getting skills will have to come out. In fact, compared to everything you did to get it, the interview is like doing open-heart and brain surgery while also teaching a child how to tie his shoes. Not the easiest thing in the world.
