Notable Quotes

• So once you've identified the indicators that measure success or progress towards success, you set a target and establish a specific number or benchmark to help you analyze your job search performance.
• If you're not tracking it, you get stuck and data versus drama. You are having drama because you don't know. You just have a thought about your performance. And that can be problematic because either you're hitting your mark or not. 
• Every no is one step closer to a yes.
• Celebrate the small victories because you will have so many more small victories than you will ever have large victories. The job is not the destination; each point along the way is its destination that deserves to be celebrated.
• The job search process is challenging, so stay focused, create a schedule that works for you, and keep going. You can't fail if you don't quit.
