Getting a job these days takes more than just a strong resume, a handshake, and a smile. With unemployment in the US, Australia, and Europe near record highs, there is incredible competition for every job no matter how entry-level.

Hey very nice blog!
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment
(it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking
at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
