Jobs and stuff

I was laid off this week, so that is one of the reasons I started this blog.

I read this article (I can read, won't you hire me?) from TBO.com regarding employment and gaining employment and its very interesting:

The sentence that stuck out the most to me was the following:

"Looking back on their job search, they often say they spent far too much time perusing Internet job boards and not enough time making contacts, such as at the plethora of job networking groups that have sprung up around the Bay area."

So basically instead of sitting on my ass all day I need to call everyone I know and ask if they know of anyone who's hiring.
