You Gotta Be In It, To Win It!

I love this recent quote from Patricia Rose, Director of Career Services at the University of Pennsylvania (NY Times, April 18, 2009):

"We are hearing from some students that they are discouraged, and have stopped applying for jobs because so many other candidates are competing with them, some undoubtedly more qualified. Resist this impulse! By not applying, you are rejecting yourself."

Wise words for all job-seekers, no matter what your age.
