The Job Seeker’s Toolbox

I write a lot about how to find a job, how to create your own career and how to get where you want to be professionally.

Some of my obsession with these topics stems from my time at U.S. News & World Report, where I covered hiring trends and job-search strategies in the digital age. But I also care because finding fulfillment in work is one of my personal goals.
