Hi, I have been a career counselor for 25 years here in Portland, and I can tell you, without equivication, that the people who get the right jobs the most quickly are those who see Job Search as a serious job, follow the eight linear steps I have outline below, and keep their morale and energy up by working with others.  We are launching a web site next week for the public based on these steps, FYI www.competitiv-edge.com.  We hope to provide a workable framework for all those goiing through this horribly long and lonely process.  One more note, it is taking our outplacement clients almost twice as long to get a job in this economy...normally it is about one month for every $10k of salary, now it is almost double.  This is very serious.

Thank you for embracing this critical issue.
