As the Holidays and the end of a difficult economic year approaches, it often seems from the outside that hiring new employees is the last thing companies care about. Managers are definitely focused on headcount justification I have found recently. Unfortunately, more often than I would like the focus is on justifying existing headcounts instead of planning for growth.

It is all too easy to become discouraged. Thank you for the gift of your book and this website. It has helped me keep focused on preparing for future job growth and opportunities during this winter of jobless economic recovery.
