Last Thanksgiving, I never would have thought the economy would still be as flat as it is. President-elect Obama appeared to hold the keys to some level of turnaround but sadly they seem to be stuck in his pocket (at least for now). My fellow alum of Franklin and Marshall College, Mary Schapiro, also showed a lot of promise to turn things around but not much is happening.
With all this now off my chest, there are still things you could do to energize your job search. Check around your community for job seeker support groups or networking groups related to your profession. Find a local career coach to help you discover attributes you never realized you possessed! Get out and do some volunteer work, making sure you have your resume nearby as you never know who might be volunteering alongside you. Remember to let those around you such as members of the clergy, relatives, people in your bowling league, people you chat with at the bagel shop, etc. know you are on the market.
Keeping active, positive, and invigorated will make the difference during such difficult times. Good luck!
