If you have been laid off or lost your job, another source of start-up capital to go into business for yourself may be available to you. Some states have instituted self-employment programs as part of their unemployment insurance. See my tab titled "Training" on this site for more information...

Job Hunting Book Club
I have created this club in the hopes of helping BOTH the "job hunters" and the "job hunting book authors"... The way I see it, we as "job hunters" need the information that these books have to offer us. LOL, and the authors need to sell their books if they are going to keep writing. See the tabs at the top of this page to visit the club/reviews.

Warning to the Unemployed!

How I Keep Income In My Life
(1) Look around you to see what is needed - a skill or product. It may mean doing some "freelancing" or working for a "temporary agency" or "volunteering"...
(2) Evaluate your skills to see if you can fill the need or obtain the necessary skills or product. I have been very fortunate to have had folks that allowed me to "learn" while working for them. Not everyone can afford to pay to acquire additional training.
(3) Approach the organization or person you want to work for. I try to do the email introduction first to get a feel for the environment. Once I get a "positive" or "negative" response - then I move on to a more aggressive interaction. And by this I mean, I know there is a potential income source from this contact and I need to call them or stop by and visit. Always do what your insides tell you to do and things have a way of falling in place.
(4) Offer to work for "free" so that they can "evaluate" your skills or product. Now I know we really cannot afford to give away our time for free, but by offering to do this shows the potential income source that you are serious about making sure your quality of work measures up to their standards. It is a "win-win" arrangement...
(5) Keep looking - always have a plan just in case you get "laid off" again. ALWAYS give your employer the BEST that you have to offer while doing this. And by this I mean, don't job hunt on their time or make it obvious that you are looking.

Aired October 22, 2010 WESH Channel 2 Television News Report, Orlando, Florida
WESH Channel 2 interviewed me in 2010 - it was an honor and a blessing...
Please share the “link” below with anyone who may be going through what I went through for two years (laid off in 2008, on unemployment benefits for 2 years, it was 2010 before I found another income source after BOTH my unemployment benefits and savings ran out).
Sometimes WESH Channel 2 has an “advertisement” on before my story – so please be patient for a few moments! LOL, it will be worth it - thank you for watching!
