Editor's Note
This may not be the best time to be out looking for a job, but
that doesn't mean that people don't need accountants. As careers
go, accounting is still a relatively safe place to be. Some tips
for job hunting and reminders of the usefulness of our
chosen profession are interspersed here with a reminder to
submit your entry for AccountingWEB's 2009 Student Scholarship.
Best regards,
Gail Perry, CPA
