Laid Off and Looking

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Another “just passing through” guest stayed with us recently. He said he is between jobs. The funny thing was that his former employer was Monster, the job-hunting company. After he got laid off he faced an interesting question: should he use the job-hunting services of his former employer?

He said he was angry at first, swearing never to accept any job-hunting advice from his employer. Instead, he went to online job-hunting and career sites to polish his resume, practice on interview questions, perk up his interview wardrobe and all the other job-hunting skills needed.

He says he has some hot job leads. We wished him well, and were glad he paid with a credit card instead of a personal check.
