How is your financial footing? Is your job search financially ready? Are you taking on a new position and need to make sure you have the right benefits for you? I talked with Aja (ah-jah) McClanahan to discuss things you to consider preparing for a job search, during a job search, accepting an offer, and at the start of a new one.
