Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the job market, rumors of a double-dip recession and even depression cloud the economic and employment horizon. On the panic meter, being out of a job right now is second only to having just retired.

(Part 1 of 10) Back in 1937, Napoleon Hill published a book titled "Think and Grow Rich." It remains to this day the top-selling business book of all time.

We spend at least eight hours per day working, some of us much more. We have every reason to want to enjoy the time. This and the following exercises will help you choose the best job for you, as long as you know the kinds of things you like to do.

However, you may have enough imagination to make it work anyway. Keeping that in mind, give it a shot.

Even with the best intentions, job search candidates can be their own worst enemy if they lose focus on their goal. Industry intelligence has it that the average executive job search is currently 23 months long.
