That and more in this weekend edition of the Daily Job Hunt.

No, there are no official rules to job hunting. No, you don’t have to apply on the job posting, or do anything.

That and more in this weekend edition of the Daily Job Hunt.

The standard advice of “follow your passion” puts a lot of pressure on us. Picking one thing to do forever, and if you don’t know your passion yet you feel bad about yourself.
