Photo - Eli AmdurThe Only Certainty in Times of Uncertainty
Face it.  We live in an unpredictable world - with no immediate signs of moderation.  Every working American now faces uncertainty, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of career.  The good news is that this, too, shall pass. But the questions are: How?  When?  "In times of uncertainty," says Eli Amdur, "the only thing of which you can be certain is yourself."  Calling on his trademark optimism, self-reliance, and proactivity, Eli will present his plan of action.
