Searching for Job Opportunities: Almost Can Be Perfect (Part 2 of 2)
Be sure to read the first part of this series if you haven't already!
After a whirlwind trip filled with meetings, I boarded my 7 a.m. flight home the next day with a scenario-packed brain. Over lunch with my husband, I verbalized those scenarios.
