Transition versus Change – There is a Difference

Regular readers of my blog know that I have expressed a good deal of thought on the topics of change and transition over the previous months.

For the second time in three years I have gone “back to school”. While I’m not enrolled in a degree granting program, I’m being trained in becoming knowledgeable of the skills in developing an effective job and career search strategy.
