Is This the New ‘Normal’ for Career Changers?

I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Ric Bratton on his This Week in America radio show.

Hear my advice to those who don’t want to be in the same boat. The Wall Street Journal recently announced the length of a job search has jumped to 39 weeks in America. That’s almost 10 months! It does not have to be that way, but in order to cut down the length of a job search you must follow the new rules.
