No one can help you in holding a good job except Old Man You.
Edgar Watson Howe

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I just beat people up
Muhammad Ali

It used to be true that firms preferred to hire employed people because only the deadwood were let go from a company. However, in the past 10 years, corporate mergers and acquisitions, hostile takeovers, and right-sizings have put many highly qualif ied professionals on the street through no fault of their own. Prospective employers are aware of this trend. If you maintain your self-confidence and tell a potential employer what you can do for him, he will consider another firm's loss his gain.
