But for the rest of us, we need to work to get by. So when I read Don’t Call Off Job Search Until An Offer Is In Hand, it made me think about one of my personal rules: Never quit a job without another one lined up to take its place.

While this article focuses on putting your job search on hold while you are unemployed (and expecting an offer), it also applies to those of you who are looking to move on to your next position.

I think that the author summed it up best with:

Never take anything for granted. The deal is never complete until its signed, sealed and delivered.

I  couldn’t have said it better myself.
