The Job Hunters Handbook

It's really true‚ isn't it? They say it's really easy to get a job when you're already working and don't need one! When you are unemployed‚ however‚ and trying to live on the meager unemployment checks it can get real scary real fast! The checks won't cover a house payment or rent‚ let alone utilities and minor details like food for your kids! What's a person supposed to do? What happened? Somewhere between the "great depression" and the "information age‚" job hunting wasn't the stressful task it is today. A guy like your Dad or your grandfather worked the same job clear up to retirement. After putting in his 20‚ 30 or 40 years his boss would give him a gold watch and a pension for his faithful years of service. Sadly‚ that is no longer the case. Every day we see more and more jobs being eroded by more technology or actually re-assigning your position to someone half way across the world!
