One change that Laura suggested allowed her company to lay off 3 data entry clerks. That paid for her salary for the rest of her time at the company. But, she never [...]  For your job search you have to learn a very important lesson from spammers. How do they get people to pay attention? Here is how they get ME to pay attention.
