I am a career coach in Southeastern Michigan, probably economically the hardest hit area measured by jobless rate, so I experience the angst among the unemployed on a daily basis. Each week, I talk on our local FOX affiliate about what a person can do to get good at getting back to work. One of the hardest things for me to see while I'm in the midst of all the uncertainty is the sense of hope that your article eludes to. My mission is to instill some hope in people who have been looking for a job unsuccessfully; to let them know that they can take charge of their career and find a job. It might not be the ideal job they immediately find, but it will at the least be a job that will help fulfill their basic needs and at most be a job that will lead them to the ideal job. So, I guess what I'm saying is that your article affirms that the postive message I am carrying is held by others. Thanks! I appreciate your article.
