What to Do If You're Unemployed
Unfortunately, we continue to hear about many people being unemployed in this economy. For some people, it's not from a lack of effort, but by circumstance. If you are someone trying to get back to work, or a college graduate searching for an entry level job, stay positive; you can find work. Here are some tips from one career expert to guide you in that direction.
Get your name out there - Make sure to send your resume to recruiters who work within your field; it will serve as a reminder of your interest in a job opportunity.
Stay up to date in your field - Find opportunities to enhance your knowledge and improve your skills in a particular career field. For example, consider an internship.
Keep tabs on the job market - Pay attention to the latest news in your field by doing some research, and keep your eyes and ears open for entry level job opportunities.
Use expert assistance - If you need some help with your job search, get some from a professional. This may really be a good idea under special circumstances (see source).
Use your network - These are the people you've worked for or with, your friends, and others who could provide helpful information in your job search.
While being unemployed isn't a pleasant experience for most people, it is an opportunity to learn how to help yourself in the real world, and learn more about who you are.
