If you have been reading my posts over on Career Hub since I started contributing three-plus years ago, you know that I make lists of random stuff. Throughout 2009, I have been asked some tough questions by job seekers...most of them questions I haven't been asked in prior years. As 2009 draws to a close, I thought I would post a few of these FAQ's from job seekers:
1. Where can I find a job?
2. How long will it take me to find a job?
3. When will some new jobs be created?
4. How can I stand out when 200 or 300 people are applying for the same job?
5. How will I pay my insurance, house/car payment when I don't have a job?
6. Is anyone listening to today's job seeker besides people like you who are getting paid for it?
7. Does anyone really care that there are millions of people who don't have a job?
8. When will things get back to normal?
9. I need help but I don't have money to pay you...what should I do?
If you follow my posts, you know that I'm a very upbeat, optimistic, always-looking-on-the-bright-side-no-matter-what-sort of person. That said, these are simply real questions from real people who really want to get back to work. They're of all ages, all backgrounds, educated, smart, capable, and talented people asking tough questions in 2009.
