Play your cards right--and you&#039;ll land a gig with a manager you actually like (just maybe--or maybe not--on the first try).</p><p><br /></p><p>Not so long ago--I was part of a mega-carrier fleet.&nbsp; In case you haven&#039;t already been there--that&#039;s actually a pretty darn good place to be, when times get tough. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/icon_thumleft.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":thumbright:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>-- Lual[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
