Conducting a job search can be tiring -- it takes a lot of effort.

Why?

Because you don't know exactly when you'll actually accept a job offer, or even what job you'll actually take. If you knew the "what" and the "when," then you'd just work backwards and plan out your job search, right? If you knew you'd have a job in 3 months, then you could predict that one week before that, you'd have a final interview. And two weeks before that, you'd have a first interview. And three weeks before that, you'd send in your resume.

Today, I'd like to welcome Jean Mansen to the YourOnRamp blogging team.  Jean spent over 25 years in financial services world before taking some time off to spend with her mom after her father died and with her son before he left for college. After three years off, she started looking for ways to re-enter the corporate world, but retain some of the flexibility she enjoyed from her time off. Finding it difficult to build a portfolio career on her own, she readily embraced the idea and resources behind YourOnRamp.com.  We're thrilled to have Jean on the Team!
