Preparation

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success. This timeless quote from Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, will always be true. You might have all the skills, education and experience in the world, but if you don't get prepared for your job search, resume writing or interview before it happens, you are taking a gamble with your future and career.
