An older Chinese couple once shared this expression with me when talking about their son's dissatisfaction with his current job. Their unique translation of it was, "Keep riding the cow you're on until a horse comes along." Of course, I'm afraid that in this economy, we've got a lot of people who may have to ride pigs for a while. Thanks for posting this.

Especially when you have high expectations. Here are some tips that helped me land the job of my dreams: * You need to have a professional written resume. If you are not an expert, you could consider hiring one. * Think about all the jobs you are qualified for. This may lead to discovering additional jobs you could land. * Look for jobs in every possible source : internet, newspaper, radio and other media. Ask your friends that have similar jobs if there may be an opening in their company. * You need to be proactive about this. Don't just email them, make sure to call the HR department to have them confirm your resume. Finding a job is pretty much a job in itself and it's all about how well can you market your abilities.
