Loved the article, (Mike sent it to us), the first paragraph made me laugh and reminded me of my own job searches 2 years ago before I got my job in Mike's group. For me I had to talk to myself and to ignore my fear of something new and look at my hobby-like skills and see if I could trade on them for something new. So my new motto was to never turn down an opportunity even if it wasn't something I thought I would like. Sometimes the miracle we're looking for is within us... Thanks, Terrie! Your job search strategies were great - and obviously worked well for you! And I agree with your motto - sometimes we forget we can always TURN DOWN an offer if it isn't right -- but it we don't check it out, we might miss out on a great opportunity. Emily PS - I hope you'll pass on the site to others and will keep up with it as it continues to grow! E. T. Em.
