Are All Your Job Search Eggs in One Basket? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 I knew a guy once that would apply to about 100 jobs and get two call backs. First off, those aren't great odds and pretty much tell me something isn't right here. But, secondly - what was even worse was that after he received the call backs he promptly ended his job search.

Be Constructive In Your Use of Layoff Time by Linda Dobogai - Nov, 2009 Depressive feelings associated with being dislocated can impact your energy level if you allow this to happen.
