W. W. Norton & Company, 2008 - Architecture - 208 pages
Some designers look for jobs. Some designers get them - good ones. Readers of this book will join the ranks of the latter group. The process of job hunting is as important as the job itself. Better job-hunting practices lead to better jobs. Better jobs bring about greater professional fulfillment, stability, and reward - financial and otherwise. Through feast and famine, good design jobs are always available; it is just a matter of finding them.
