You are a one-person business, even when you work for someone else.

If you want to get and keep the job you want, you need to change how you think about your career and your job. This article (approx. 4,000 words) will change how you think about your career. Instead of relying on others or just thinking about your career as a series of jobs, it will teach you how to look at yourself as a 1 person business and to use small business tools to boost your career to where you want it to go.
