\"bigstock-Daffodils-blooming-through-the-30407135\"<\/a>Today’s institutions spend a lot of time assessing environments<\/strong><\/a> and  making sure they understand them, so that people will feel comfortable and welcome. We also spend a lot of time struggling with ways to promote sustainability<\/strong><\/a> and integrate new technology<\/strong><\/a> into our approaches. So let’s crash these concepts together to examine the ecology of the job search, and apply the resulting framework to different aspects of the job search.<\/p>\n

(This is one of those moments when I’m going to get a little de-constructionist, so if you are not interested in the theory behind this strategy, come back later this week<\/strong>, as we explore some particular issues and strategies  you might take when working through them and making intelligent career choices.
