There are really lots of career opportunities in the web, and the list is really expanding. More and more people are getting into work at home jobs. It is a good sign I believe, and I dream that someday all of us would become free of financial trouble. Lets not be in despair. Hope exists.

People help people get jobs. A headhunter will only see you as Mr. or Ms. Right if you're a match for the open requisitions they've been handed by their client - the company with a need. Otherwise, you're probably a footnote for the future. Many recruiters can't slow down today because companies aren't giving them retainers as much as they used to. That money financed the search. Now my recruiter friends get a small amount up front and the majority of their money at the back end...and what they ultimately net is smaller.

She is a unique and wonderful human who wants more than anything to help others, and going out of her way to do whatever she can. From her own Links pages where she supports people in what they do to the supportive tweets. A day without her shining energy in my stream is like a day without sunshine I have never been out of work, I am a very grateful person to have found my true calling and to have worked myself into a position that I can never loose, especially in these trying times it shows me more and more how grateful I am. Elizabeth listens, and is honest and open and this seems like a fabulous way for her to help even more people.

BTW -- A little blogging and my syndicated column about you and your link to the value of a college degree (http://bit.ly/RPsEf and http://bit.ly/1V0a0r) might lead to other, more steady work. :-) -- Dan Bobinski PS. I'm betting your son LOVED you "participating" at the concessions! Ken,

Sorry to hear about your “pink slip” situation … a little temp work might lead to different thinking — and seeing new opportunities (you never know who you meet!).
