There is plenty of overlap between how you evaluate options, present yourself effectively, and make decisions in both situations.<\/p>\n<p>Courting Your Career walks you through sections on self-assessment and exploration (\u201cWhat&#8217;s Your Type?\u201d), developing a job-search plan (\u201cPlaying the Field\u201d), and networking (\u201cThe Meet-Market\u201d), as well as in-depth guidance on resumes, cover letters, and interviewing.
