Stories from the Recession: Hired in '09
The recession that began in December 2007 has grown into the
longest stretch of high unemployment in the past quarter century. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' November 2009
data shows that nearly 8 million jobs have been lost during the recession. However, the total number of unemployed persons, and the unemployment rate, are edging
downward.
There has been much discussion about the face of
unemployment in America, but there has been little attention paid to successful
job seekers. What set them apart? What did they do differently?
Here are four profiles of professionals, each at a different
stage in their career, who have successfully secured new positions during the
recession. Together, they share some strategies that you can implement today in
your own job search.
