The First Job


"We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started."

Henry Ward Beecher
19th century American politician

Memo to Management:  Remember this when considering an otherwise qualified young person who only lacks in experience.

You too once had to find your first job.
