Unemployment and You

Unemployment is at its all time high.

According to the Department of Labor, August unemployment closed out at 6.1%. There were 9.4 million Americans unemployed by the end of August. Not to mention that 810,000 Americans lost their job between May 2008 and August 2008.

There were 7,928,000 Americans seeking full time employment or laid off in August with 1,543,000 seeking part time employment. We can only imagine how bad September was for unemployment as well. People are losing their jobs and companies are cutting budgets. There are fewer jobs available with considerably more people applying for those jobs.

How are YOU going to land a job? There may be thousands of people applying for the same job. What will make YOU get noticed and get the interview?

It may seem like a luxury to spend money on your resume; a luxury that you may not be able to afford. However, ask yourself this question: Can I afford to go one more month or two more months or half a year without a job? Which will cost you more money? Investing money upfront on your resume and interview skills will cost you less in the long run.

The economic situation could possibly get much worse than what we are seeing right now. Are you prepared?
