title: Managing your career.
abstract: Managing your career requires both knowledge and skill. You must know about the marketplace, yourself (your strengths, passions, and skills) and appropriate job-hunting techniques. When you have the needed knowledge, you must then focus on the needed skills--the skills of interviewing, packaging your unique blend of talents and experience, and making the correct contacts in the most effective way. Armed with the best information, well-managed contacts, and well-honed job-hunting skills, you can take your career places you never imagined!
