Thank you for writing a guide that speaks to everyone. I have been out of work since the end of December. I’m in HR- a recruiter by profession- so I am quite familiar with a lot of the tips that you suggested. What really struck me was the level of compassion that you exhibit within your writing. Too often during my job search over the past few months I have interacted with recruiters and HR professionals who have a complete lack of compassion for those looking for work. When I was working, I fulfilled my daily duties and responsibilities while maintaining a level of respect for those that I worked with and those that I was hiring. I would like to think that all professionals- as workers and as people- would have the same level of respect. So far, I have been proved wrong. While this is disheartening, I am hopeful and optimistic that I am going to find a job that is right for me, and that a job will come to me based on principles of respect. I wish this for everyone looking for a job as well.
Thanks again.
Dear Mattew:
Thanks a lot and fantastic initiative at your side.
I wasn´t aware about this model Pay-It-Forward, very nice.
I shared in my blogs in Wordpress and Blogger.
Your words will inspire me!
Sincerely,
Jose Roberto
