Jobless? Looking for work? Or Maybe You are Hiring… I Want Your Opinion…

In the last couple of weeks I’ve had at least half-a-dozen friends call me or write me looking for work. My brother-in-law has been out of work for nearly 18 months after a stellar career working in management for a few Fortune 500 companies. He was outsourced and downsized. Another friend has been in banking [...]
