3 Things No One Tells You About Job Hunting
Excerpt From: Work It Daily Job hunting is so much more than crisp suits, smiles, and polite, easy conversations with your interviewers. It’s also not a time for you to be imaginatively hopeful.

Source: Career Metis For every job profile that is posted, recruiters receive dozens, even hundreds of resumes.
