Engineering Career and Job Hunting Advice for July 7, 2015

Infographics are the "in" thing with this week's collection of career advice articles. If a picture is still worth 1,000 words in today's economy, then there are at least 2,000-worth here, and maybe as many as 21,000 if you count individual graphics within the infographics. I like the allusion in one of the titles to Mark Twain's famous quote following a domestic absence during an extended trip to Europe. The other pieces are more of the standard words of wisdom from those who are ostensibly amongst the 'experts' qualified to offer such advice. Caveat emptor.
