Deidre Diamond gave a presentation on why finding a job you love can be difficult. She notes that the digital job search is broken, common security language is lacking, hiring managers don't write their own job descriptions, and looking for a job can be grounds for termination in some companies. However, she provides tips to improve the job search process, such as knowing your wants, being willing to invest time, asking the right questions, and avoiding fear-based decisions.
