If you’ve visited the multiplex in the past week, you may have been surprised by what was on the marquee.

No, you don’t need to get your vision checked; Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace is indeed back in theaters and in a very big way.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the first film of the Star Wars prequel trilogy made quite a splash at the box office the past few weekends, surpassing the total gross for a few new releases.

It’s not always about novelty when it comes to entertainment or the job search. Like a satisfying plot, hiring managers always seek core skills and experience to ensure a quality candidate.

May the force be with you as you scan this week’s listings.
