Find a Job!

 I receive calls from people out of work for four years or longer (one case surpassed ten years). My suggestion is to take anything being offered right now to get current work history on their resumes and some income as well. Many state they will not lower themselves to work at a supermarket, restaurant, freight company, etc. I know individuals who started out loading parcels for UPS and ended up in management positions or those who worked for supermarkets stocking shelves which led to supervisory jobs and tuition reimbursement. Two things can result from taking any job to get moving. It could turn out to be a success story or simply give you current experience on your resume. Today's market is loaded with work, just not the work that many are used to securing. The old adage that any job is better than no job still applies in many cases, though certainly not for everyone. Give it some thought. Elise Prezant Patty Kremen, Dale Favia Charise Wilson, MS, GCDF, CCSP, CPRW Charles Ahr John R.
