Abstract
Career goals are dependent on securing good employment. Obtaining a good job calls for planning and hard work. The job-hunting effort may require the equivalent of three weeks to nine months of full-time effort. The effort is aided by tips on planning, interviewing, and accepting offers.
We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
—T. S. Eliot
