    Essentially, performing the same good work as with Career Improvement Group, scaled back to accommodate semi-retired status. And, to accomplish other goals.The field of career and job finding field is polluted with much erroneous information and methodology and over promoted methodology. One big problem is the over reliance on "networking". What's needed is a marketing strategy that takes you deep into the "Natural Job Market" quickly, far beyond where "networking" will take you.Interested? Call me.
