Oh, the things that fall by the wayside when we have jobs!

Well, I hope I didn't lose my small but dedicated readership in the several days during which the site went down due to server issues. The good news is that we're back up. The better news is that the site should be considerably speedier than it has been as I have taken some of my earnings and plowed them into a better server space. Unfortunately, this site (and others) did go down as I frolicked over the weekend. With any luck, nobody will get too discouraged about that.

When unemployment becomes "Groundhogs Day"...

Just a little about myself, I'm 26 years old and I've been out of work for nearly 1 & 1/2 years. Went to college for television broadcasting, safe to say, it's not exactly a broadly applicable major/field. I've been working in Live TV since I was 19, so I have roughly 6 years experience working in major markets (Philadelphia, San Francisco, DC).

Faith Forum

Hello Fellow Believer:

I am doing some research to see how folks are using their FAITH to deal with the recession – whether they have an income or don’t…

How to not give up when you get tired of stressing over income generation and feeling something is wrong with you…?”

I would appreciate your comments on our FAITH FORUM at http://outofyourrut.com/category/faith-forum/

So many folks are giving up and we need to encourage each other and believe that 2013 will better.

Thank you,

How To Survive Unemployment website

And just like....A GLACIER!

Reading posting after posting, writing Pulitzer prize winning cover letter after cover letter, making endless phone calls to squeaky voiced little receptionists to hopefully, maybe, maybe get an AUTO RESPONSE in your email let alone a damn 10 minute phone call will take...about....TWO MONTHS if you\'re lucky! This whole disgusting, insulting process TAKES LONGER THAN CONFIRMATION HEARINGS FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES!!

Its BROKEN!!

Yup. Its the same tired resumes with the same tired cover letters. Its the same obnoxious interviewers interviewing us for the same low paying jobs we all saw on the same tired job boards. NO ONE would buy a car that looked or ran like the American get-a-job market. Its broken!

From a professional job seeker...this book is for the newly unemployed...

Take a few minutes from hackin\' your way outta\' this toilet.

When you read this, you\'ll see that YOU\'RE NOT ALONE. And if you haven\'t had to write a resume for, oh, TEN or TWENTY YEARS, you better click the link.

Don\'t worry. We\'re ALL screwed...

Why Being Unemployed Isn't Necessarily so Bad

Hi everybody, all 37 of you!

As you may have discerned from my sorta recent posts and from the fact that I haven't been posting, I am now officially employed, workin' for the Man. It's great, I must say, just great. I love every minute of my day. I love the routine. I love the work. I love my co-workers and even my superiors. I love my weekends. And, yeah, I love the regular injection of funds to my bank account.
