The professional job search

In the past three or four years, more than any other time, engineers who work in the pulp and paper industry and related businesses are finding themselves out of work. For some, it is the first time since they graduated from college and it is a situation that they have never envisioned for themselves. This paper is a case study on some of the requirements for a professional job search, the preparations, the work, and the problems. This is not intended to be all inclusive, nor is it intended to be another "how to" textbook like so many that line the shelves down at the bookstore.
