font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you start the network machinery running, the next step is training yourself to think of your job search as a business with you as its CEO.&amp;nbsp; All of the decisions affecting your job search begin and end with you and you will learn the fine art of taking responsibility for them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Cambria;

font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;"&gt; like a good fit for you, you’ll learn how to develop a solid value proposition (the job description, a “targeted resume” and a special cover letter called a “T-Letter”).&amp;nbsp; This is the magnet that will attract employers to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Cambria;
