After being laid off in 1994, Susan P. Joyce began studying, writing, teaching, and speaking about the field of online job search with a focus on smart and effective job search techniques, building on her experience in military intelligence, Human Resources, and information technology.
Affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management from 2011 through 2016, Susan held Visiting Scholar appointments with the Sloan School since 2013. For more information about Susan, visit her LinkedIn Profile.
At MIT, Susan was honored to work Professor Ofer Sharone. Susan was assisting in Professor Sharone's efforts to determine the solutions to the problems faced by the long-term unemployed, particularly those who are over 40 years of age.
The goal of this research is to help those who have been unemployed for more than six months find employment more quickly and easily.
The research continues with Professor Sharone at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, beginning in 2016.

Counting her Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps, Susan is a two-time layoff "graduate." She was also one of thousands of people laid off in 1994 by Digital Equipment Corporation, number 28 on the Fortune 500 company at that time, which completely disappeared by 1998. Susan's work on Job-Hunt resulted from those two experiences.
Based on her pre-Digital experience working in Harvard University's Personnel Office and in a Boston compensation consulting company as well as her numerous industry contacts, Susan has written and spoken extensively on the subject of online job search and was a pioneer in this relatively new field.
