The first thing to recognize in the job search is that—for the most part—it’s not about you. Sure, you’re in control for the first 10% of the search: You get to decide where you’re going to apply, and to what kind of work you’re suited. It’s up to you to determine whether you can imagine a life North Dakota—a fertile area for job growth–or if you must accede to your family’s demand that you stay in Boston. Once you’ve been offered the job, and before you’ve accepted, you’re in the driver’s seat again. That’s when you get to negotiate for more money, a better title, or time off for your best friend’s wedding. But, for the middle part of the job search, the focus is entirely on the needs of the employer, and whether they think you’re the best person for the job.
