And At That Point I Believed So Deeply In What I Was Doing That I Couldn't Imagine Anything Else Other Than Trying To Make This Business Work.

I Had Been A Veteran Of Pretty Challenging Job Searches, So I Knew Firsthand How Frustrating, Confusing, And Demoralizing The Job Search Process Can Be. Even After You Get A Job, Many People Join Companies And Discover In The First Couple Weeks That They Aren't A Good Match With The Personality And Values Of The Company.
