How To Find A Job During the Recession
This is an article on finding a job during the recession.
With unemployment at 8% or more in most states, finding jobs during this recession is difficult.
Step 1) Be cognisant of which fields are growing. There are two fields growing right now: EDUCATION and HEALTHCARE.
Step 2) Watch your LOCAL NEWS as much as possible. Every night the 10 oclock news has been issuing which organizations are laying people off and which ones are hiring people. If the news mentions an organization that's hiring, be the first one to go to that organization's website to sign up.
Step 3)Go to TEMPORARY STAFFING COMPANIES. Often, the staffing companies are the first ones contacted by employers looking to hire $8-$18 hr employees. Sign up with all the major staffing companies in your geographic area.
Step 4)Be VERY PROACTIVE. There are a lot of people competing for the same job right now with layoffs coming into the thousands. You need to be one of the first to issue youR application in order to get the job. I hope this helps everyone. God Bless and Good luck

Good advice on finding a job. Thanks!
There are some good points here- esp about staying on top of things. That alone will separate one from the majority that won'. Having said that, since we're also talking about being more creative during this economic slump, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another in the first place? I'm rather amazed that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not "conventional" enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy. Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but I'm convinced that thinking that way is a kind of tunnel vision that keeps many from learning skills that wold allow them to carve out there own path to income. One of them is as close as the computer in front of you. For the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves. leavethejobbehind.com
