Job Searching Far and Wide
Finding a job after being laid off in this economic environment is challenging to say the least. Opportunities are scarce and those that are attractive are inundated with viable applicants waiting for a shot at an interview.
Networking with friends, colleagues and prior job mates is a great way to hear about inside track openings on jobs. Sometimes, if the timing is right, you may get a job offer before any posting even goes out to the general applicant pool, but that is a rare event.
Keep your eyes open and feelers out for anything that might be a suitable position. The more people you talk to in a day, the better your chances are of finding a job. Have your resume ready and your interview clothes cleaned and pressed. Come up with a general list of questions and you are ready for fate to take you for a ride.
