"A good job is hard to find" sounds like the title to a short story.

One where the hero leaps various hurdles until at last plucking the perfect position. Or in a sad twist, ends up out on the streets with a pair of empty pockets.

Because getting a good job isn't easy. And not just in these tough economic times. Finding the right spot — or any spot — has always been a hard-nosed endeavor, one tied to effort, connections and luck.
