Responding to accounting jobs ads and waiting for the phone to ring is simply not proactive enough in a deepening recession. This article provides a starting point for thinking outside the box with your job search.

When asked about helpful ideas on how to leverage technology with the job search process, Rozell had the following tips to share.
