Sometimes the struggle to find a job can seem to really drag on and on. It's important to stay focus and not give up even if it seems hopeless. Jeffrey Fox, the author of Don't Send a Resume, told job seekers to never give up in this interview from The IWJ.
(1) Read Don't Send a Resume, and do what the book advises. Thousands of people have used the book as a blueprint to getting hired.
(2) The recent college graduate, and the folks in publishing, should look at opportunities in any industry. Don't lock into one industry, especially if that industry is soft. Skills are much more marketable then people think.
(3) Work hard to get a job. It is hard work. Never give up. Don't despair. There is an organization that needs the job seeker.
Looking at different industries is great advice as well. Technology is changing industries so fast these days that it might be smart to market your skills and knowledge to a new industry instead of trying to find a job in an industry that is shrinking.
