How to do a small-town job search
A lot of career advice targets job seekers in moderate-size or large cities, which typically provide more job opportunities.But those hoping to secure work in rural communities will find that securing work in smaller, tight-knit communities often requires a special finesse.

That means adjusting how you apply for positions, for winning searches.
