The Job Hunt

This is an excellent article about how to do it, including things I didn’t do.   One thing I did finally learn at the end of my career, though, is simple but hard to do.  When you don’t get a job, see if you can talk with the person who interviewed you.  Ask them how they feel you can improve yourself.  Done in the correct way, that interviewer will even take it as a compliment. 

The main thing I didn’t do was send a “thank you” note for the interview.  That one does depend on the job–in better economic times.
