Thanks to Jim for posting that comment to my last post regarding a nationwide employer database. The best site seems to be http://www.ReferenceUSA.com. It is FREE if your local library subscribes to it. . .
Now, since the Super Bowl is coming up, I am reminded of what a football commentator said about the Bucs of 2003: they’ll have to get back to the basics. I thought Super Bowl champions should already know the basics, right? But it serves as a reminder that we all forget about the basics when we are overwhelmed with technical details and advice. In the job search field there are many books and experts with advice. All good to know, but don’t forget to run spell check on your resume and also have a friend review it for errors.
