"What keywords should I use on my resume?" may be the top question I hear from candidates. It's often surprising to job seekers: there's an easy answer ... or an effective answer. The question on keywords is a natural - we've all heard that HR...

Finding a Bridge Over the Void

Posted by: "Rich Pettus" richpettus@gmail.com   rich.pettus

Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:21 pm (PDT)



http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/15/jobs/15search.html?

August 14, 2010
Finding a Bridge Over the Void By PHYLLIS KORKKI

THEY'RE known as the 99ers — laid-off people who have gone 99 weeks without
finding work, at which point their jobless benefits expire. More than 1.4
million Americans have been unemployed for at least that long — victims of
an economy that has not been creating many jobs.

Lawmakers are debating whether to extend unemployment benefits, subsidize
more job training or approve huge public works projects like the ones of the
Great Depression<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/g/great_depression_1930s/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>.
But as the political issues are debated, many people have seen their
already-minimal benefits disappear, and others will hit the 99-week barrier
soon. What can they do?

The economic and psychological effects of long-term joblessness can be
devastating — making it that much harder to find a
job.About.com<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/a/about_inc/index.html?inline=nyt-org>,
which is owned by The New York Times
Company<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/new_york_times_company/index.html?inline=nyt-org>,
has collected more than 2,000 firsthand
stories<http://jobsearch.about.com/u/sty/unemployment/unemployedstory/>
from
people who have been unable to find work.

They speak of feeling depressed and humiliated, of feeling that they are
considered "lazy" by those who have jobs. Some describe losing their homes
and being forced to move in with family members. They write of their savings
running out, using up retirement money, selling their belongings and waiting
for their cellphone service to be cut off or their cars to be repossessed.

There comes a time when sheer survival trumps career aspirations, and facing
that can be hard. Sometimes you can pay your bills while adding a few lines
to your résumé, but at other times that simply isn't possible.

The trick to facing long-term unemployment is to "find the intersection
between your highest-paying skill and market demand," said Nancy Collamer,
founder of the Layoff Survival
Guide<http://jobsandmoms.typepad.com/layoffsurvivalguide/>,
a Web site.

One way to do this is to offer your services on a temporary basis, Ms.
Collamer said. If you are an out-of-work lawyer, for example, offer to
perform research or title searches.

Check with temp agencies or talk to friends who own businesses and ask if
they have project-oriented work available, Ms. Collamer said. Send out an
e-mail blast on a social networking site, saying you are available to help
with specific services, she advised.

Don't appear desperate or mention your personal financial situation when
seeking temporary work, she said: "It's all about selling a value
proposition."

Sometimes, she said, "your best bet may be to turn to something outside your
professional expertise."

Take a look at the needs of your community. Those could include services
like dog walking, child care, house sitting or driving people to their
appointments.

Some unemployed people are thinking too narrowly, said
Ford<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/ford_motor_company/index.html?inline=nyt-org>
R.
Myers, a career coach, author and president of Career Potential in
Philadelphia.

"They're looking at jobs that only match up with the job they had before,"
Mr. Myers observed. But even in the best of times, he said, this is not how
the work world operates.

He recommends a "bridge job strategy — it's a way to tide yourself over
until you can land back on your feet at an appropriate level."

Like Ms. Collamer, he suggests exploring temporary jobs, along with
home-based and part-time jobs. Consider administrative support work, or some
kind of manual labor, he said. "It's not great money," he said, "but it
keeps you busy and it pays some bills and it carries you over."

If you were previously a bank executive and happen to own a van, you don't
tend to think, "Maybe I'll do some moving and hauling," but that could be a
temporary solution, he said.

It's important to set up "a mental separation between the real job and the
bridge job," Mr. Myers said. "We have to get rid of this sense of false
pride," he observed, adding that it's no time to say, "I'm not going to take
a job like that — I'm an executive."

During a long-term job search, Ms. Collamer said, make sure that you receive
emotional support and maintain social connections. She recommends joining a
job support group, but "you don't want to be joining a pity party; it's got
to be a proactive group." Volunteering can also keep you outside your own
head — and can lead to job opportunities.

GUARD against self-defeating thoughts, said Alison Doyle, a job search
specialist for About.com. Remember that because of the economy, many capable
and qualified people are unable to get jobs right now, even though they are
doing all the right things, she said.

And don't be afraid to ask for help. If your jobless benefits have run out,
other government or community programs may be able to offer assistance,
especially if you have children, she said.

"You may feel too proud to take assistance," Ms. Doyle said, "but if there
is assistance out there you should take it" — whether from government or
community programs, family or friends.

It's important to set up "a mental separation between the real job and the bridge job," Mr. Myers said. "We have to get rid of this sense of false pride," he observed, adding that it's no time to say, "I'm not going to take a job like that — I'm an executive."

During a long-term job search, Ms. Collamer said, make sure that you receive emotional support and maintain social connections. She recommends joining a job support group, but "you don't want to be joining a pity party; it's got to be a proactive group." Volunteering can also keep you outside your own head — and can lead to job opportunities.

GUARD against self-defeating thoughts, said Alison Doyle, a job search specialist for About.com. Remember that because of the economy, many capable and qualified people are unable to get jobs right now, even though they are doing all the right things, she said.

And don't be afraid to ask for help. If your jobless benefits have run out, other government or community programs may be able to offer assistance, especially if you have children, she said.

"You may feel too proud to take assistance," Ms. Doyle said, "but if there is assistance out there you should take it" — whether from government or community programs, family or friends.
