Wow. Thanks for sharing. I’m really sorry you feel that way!

The reality is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to ship ALL jobs to India, Indonesia, or anywhere else.

Over 4,000,000 jobs are filled every month in the USA, according to the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (JOLTS reports). Those are jobs INSIDE the USA!

More Pollyanna Horse$#!T. The fact is that stupid people voted for greedy politicians who have sold us down the river. Any job that isnt complete garbage will be done in India or Indonesia. Best to just kill yourself and decrease the surplus population. You don’t get anywhere readying these HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY posts written by people that are selling crap.

Internet job searches and job fairs only take time away from a serious job search. Have never even had an interview using these methods.

This is a great post! So many of my friends are going through discouragement of interviewing and not landing any positions. Tough for them to not feel like failures or that they will never find anything.

It is hard, but it’s important to not get too “linear” in their approach for job searching. You offer five great suggestions. I will pass this along. Hopefully it will spark their creative energies to explore alternative methods to their job search situation.

I’ve seen the stress on many friends who have lost their jobs and you’re right — you have to be positive and learn how to deal with the change. For anyone looking for a job in Chicago, I just saw this cool seminar that touches on these issues — how do you reinvent yourself and deal with all the change.

This is a great post. So many people are feeling down about being out of a job and the economy is bad and bla bla bla. The news is quite depressing for those who have recently found themselves in the job hunt or those graduating soon. The key to everything that you said above is the word “NEW”. The days of working for “the company” for your entire career are unfortunately over for now. With multi-national corporations, the internet, and advanced electronic equipment the workforce has changed dramatically since the late 1980s. The modern job market in the US has many people having to learn dig up old skills they haven’t used in ages or learn new ones. This is a fantastic opportunity if approached with an open mind. There are many emerging fields that have no experts yet, and many fields in deep need of workers willing to learn a new trade. Most cities have unemployment networking groups that you can join. These are great places to meet people in the same boat as you that may even be able to help you out in being more efficient in your job search.
