Wow, I was laid off yesterday as well. It's amazing to see how many people are out of work. I'm trying to decide which avenue I want to pursue now that I have an open schedule. Thanks for the great advice!

I moved to the US from London, England 10 months ago. I've had one job so far which didn't work out after around 2 months. Thanks to this article I've been inspired to use my freelance writing as a way of explaining away this year's unemployment, rather than call on the recession as an explanation. Thanks for your input; this article is stuck to my fridge door to help self-start me during depressing phases!

This is really great. Well the one part I am not sure about is when you mentioned volunteering for you boyfriend's company. On my resumes I've always separated volunteer from paid work. To be honest, I'm not sure why but it's been pounded in my head that there is a fine line between "fluff" and "lie", and making volunteer seem like full-time crosses that boundary.

I enjoy your career advice because it tells me things I've always wanted to do (like pursue a hobby while not working)but have somehow never been able to successfully justify.

Thanks bunches.

Penelope. I really liked that you worked for your boyfriends company. That is very smart and it looks good on your resume. It is a good idea for anyone who is between jobs. If a loved one doesnt have a company these days it doesnt take much to start one on your own. If you have some skill you can sell or consult then you can do it while looking for a job.
