How I did it: A job search starts with defining what job would make you happy. In my case, I aimed high, got a break in January, but was laid off three months later, thanks to the credit crunch. I went on and focused on companies in the sector I wanted to work. Also did simpler jobs in this sector and took opportunities to find out who the decision takers were and had a chat with them.

How I did it: My story: took a job after my 2nd masters thesis project turned out boring. Then I struggled for almost 7 years with guilt.

My mind is ready and my body will soon be clean and much more energetic. Here I go!
