Not just one way to describe ourselves, but two ways, at least. Not just one way to hunt for a job, but two ways, at least. Not just one kind of job to hunt for, but two kinds of jobs, at least. Not just one size company to go after, but two sizes, at least. Not just one place we really would like to work at, but two places, at least. Richard N. Bolles
About This Quote

The idea is that there are two different ways to look for work. One is to look for one kind of job to find one kind of company. The other is to look for two kinds of companies, each type with different demands. This idea is not new.

It's similar to the idea of looking at two different dresses before you buy your wedding dress. You need something fitted and comfortable, but you also want something beautiful and unique to make an impression on your guests.
