I cannot repeat the plea to assist anyone you know that is in the throes of the job search too often.It is almost impossible to provide anyone with a job by merely calling a friend or passing on a resume. However,it is so helpful to assist in the process by listening,encouraging and reinforcing the self worth of the individual. We all know that being unemployed can call into question so many doubts, and feeling alone in the process can be physically and emotionally debilitating.The support and counsel along the way will be key to the recharging that is required to sustain focus and commitment in the process. Many times your help will not be requested for a variety of reasons, so please sharpen your antenna and be proactive in reaching out.
