About Job Searching: Taking Your Job Search on Vacation

	from Alison Doyle I know there are career experts who say that when you go on vacation, you shouldn't even think about your job or job searching, and you shouldn't check your email or your voicemail. I don't follow that advice. I check my email early in the morning, and, again, if I get the time later in the day. I don't always answer all my email, but I address what's important, delete the junk, and leave the rest for when I'm back to work.
