Even in a tough job market, do people really land good jobs?
Yes. The difference in a tough job market is that it sometimes takes longer to land a job and you need to use all the job search tools at your disposal. Use social networking skills and articulate your personal brand statement to stand out from the crowd. Finding good opportunities in a tight market might require the possibility of relocating. No matter what the job market looks like it is always important to stay current with skills and be aware of transferable skills. Your previous industry may not be the one you find opportunity. Instead look to the market place for skills that are in demand.
