<P>But if you think about job searching the same way you would planting seeds, 
you'll have a different perspective. Every gardener knows that many of the seeds 
he plants will get eaten by birds. Others will shrivel and die. But gardeners 
don't waste time tracking the progress of every seed or nurturing those that 
just won't thrive. They water the garden and see what grows. It's the same with 
a job search; not everything we do will bear fruit. The tough part is knowing 
when to give up on the seed that isn't going anywhere. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.businessweek.com/careers/content/jul2007/ca20070722_027106.htm?chan=careers_careers+index+page_top+stories"><H3>1.
