Keep Grinding.

It's the week before Labor Day weekend and we're guessing a lot of folks are putting off job-search efforts .... but you're here, either just browsing or actively searching for your next (or first) career stop.  Congrats for making the effort while your friends, peers & job-search rivals are already dreaming of crabs, cookouts, or college football.  So apply today while others are putting off developing their cover letters and tweaking their resumes. Keep grinding; it'll pay off, we promise.

And, we'll be back with something fun on Friday.
