I think I will look into the idea about examining my resume to see if I need to edit anything and also about keeping resumes on hand, just in case something pops up. Great article and I really hope you find something soon hun. :) Serendipity I’m not unemployed but I am thinking about lookin for other opportunites to help for when I get my degree finished.

Thanks for the great networking tip! Not only is it great to be earning a temporary income while job hunting, but that also keeps you feeling productive.

Also- and I know this can add up cost-wise, but meeting up for coffee or tea with old work friend or supervisors you were cool with can help. It's more personal than an email, and you can feel them out to see if they have any prospects- or have a friend needing hired help themselves. I guess in a nutshell it's all networking. But I was able to find a few freelance jobs this way doing basic web/desktop projects because they just didn't have the time. Sometimes it was for the equivalent of minimum wage I admit, but it was so easy, and every little bit helps. A lot of small business owners look for this kind of thing too. Hope it helps a little.
