I know what your thinking, "where the heck have you been"?

I'M BACK!

Look, I know my last post was in August 2009 when I got a job. Put me in shackles and throw away the key. I should of continued to blog but the "new job", now the "current place of employment" (just kidding) was working me to the bone (fyi - I'm now being worked to the bone marrow and I'm no stranger to hard work). But, I'm back nonetheless!

My mind is still buzzing with all the experiences that I went through while being laid off. It's time for me to get back in the swing of things and unload while offering guidance, support and a few laughs here and there (you gotta have a sense of humor, right). So, please stay tuned. If you have left, please come back! I promise, I won't depart again. Realistically, I don't care if 2 people or 200 people read the blogs. The main purpose is to share my experiences with people who are now apart of the double digit unemployment rate and even to those that are employed (this maybe a backup survival kit for you one day). It's tough being unemployed, but knowing that someone is out there who has walked in your shoes, truly offers a sense of comfort/support when everything around you is out of whack. Ok, enough with the melodrama.

Here's what I'm thinking for the upcoming blog topics -

- Smart Questions to the ask the Interviewer - beyond what you can google or get in a interviewing book
- Yes, on some interviews Excel Tests are given
- To Use or To Not Use a Headhunter
- Keep Job postings organized - know where you are applying to
- Personal Finance Tips for the Unemployed
- Tips to staying active while laid off
- Coupons, the money saver! Why you need to start using them asap and yes, they are in a newspaper circular!
- What to do within the first 48 hours of getting laid off - a must read!
- Tax Deduction Tips - Unemployment benefits (yes, there are benefits!)
- Tips to manage student loan payments

Whew! So that's a sneak peak of blogs to come! Stay tune, will try to up-date weekly!
