Being Unemployed

With the global economic downfall no ones job is safe. Mine has been hit. So here I sit making looking for a job making that my job until I find new employment. I want to get out of the industry that I have worked in for the last 15 years into something else.
Since I haven't had to look for a job for a number of years I find it so much easier to do now. Remember when you had to actually hand deliver your Resume. You were so limited as to how many that could be delivered in a day. Having to print off the Resumes and Cover Letters. What a pain in the butt that was. It was so frustrating. The main source was the newspaper and that used to take up several pages. Now the employment ads barely take up half a page.
Now you can sit in your jammies and search the job sites tweak the Cover Letter and send it off with the Resume. Never thought I would be able to apply for a job while I'm in my jammies. You can send off so many more this way and not have to leave your home.
