happynewyearGreetings and Happy Holidays!
 
I have to first apologize for the delay in getting the December newsletter out to you!  Unfortunately, my hard drive was attacked by a severe virus, which ultimately rendered my computer useless.  I am happy to report that I have a great replacement ready for the new year. 
 
You, like me, are probably really anxious about what 2009 will bring.  I don't know about you, but I am hoping for a safe, productive, healthy and prosperous new year. 
 
I wanted to also introduce our first sponsor for our newsletter.  The company is Reel Logix Inc and they are offering our readers a coupon for 25% OFF their flagship product - The Calendar Planner calendar software.  (Redeem Code is below)
 
As always, we encourage questions and welcome your feedback.
 
In the meantime - stay focused on your career and Happy New Year!

The Class of 2009 is graduating into one of the toughest job markets in almost 40 years in the United States.  There will be great competition for early career opportunities for the Class of 2009 and so any or all work experience can help to set one college graduate apart from the competition.  
 
One way college students get work experience?  Campus jobs.  The problem is that too many college students do not take their campus jobs seriously enough.   Here are some benefits of campus jobs that the Class of 2009 should think about.
Career ReEntry in Scary Times 
With unemployment rate almost at 7% and the much publicized job losses, it is a scary time for people who are considering career reentry.

Over the last few months job seekers have increasingly shared their concern that more layoffs have increased competition in the job market.  With more qualified workers in the market for jobs, some older workers and career reentry professionals fear that competition will make it harder for them to find work. These tips could help!
