Television Interview with Janelle So, TV 18 Los Angeles, CA on June 22, 2009

Carl addresses how job seekers can enhance their job search by focusing on what they do best and are most passionate about and why a time of transition can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reassess what you really want to do with the rest of your life and where you want to spend your time. He shares some insights on what employers want and, on a humorous note, uses an analogy of why a successful job search is a lot like fishing. Click here to view video with Janelle So, TV 18.
