Similarities between job and house seeking

On the Jobacle blog today, a post compares house hunting with job seeking. The writer identifies certain qualities that the house/job would have--neighbours are to co-workers, price are to co-workers--and shows you how you can create your own "cost" (to employment) comparison. This metaphor might work for some job seekers--and, if you have to move to find work, be conducted as a simultaneous search--but try to keep your mind form drifting to sub-primes and foreclosures as you conduct your searches.
