Career Transition
Awhile ago, I began transmogrifying, initially
consuming all manner of books on careers,
including, What Color Is Your Parachute? A
Practical Manual for Job-Hunters
Career-Changers.
I did every exercise that book contains, relying
on its promise that my dream job would be
revealed!

  came with a parachute, never mind its colour,

or where I might land . . .

• And then I discovered MLIS at SLAIS!
