Unemployment does not seem like too big of a deal - unless you are one of those directly affected. Lots of folks have found themselves without a job in the current recession and the search of a new job in this situation can be pretty difficult. You need all the help you can get!
First of all, consider some "Personal Unemployment Insurance". And, one of the best ways to insure against the loss of income that may befall you is to constantly be updating your inventory of skills and talents. Don't you have a skill that you developed earlier in life but have not used it very much? I think we all do.
In fact, you may find that one of your lesser-used skills may be something that is, surprisingly, more in demand today than those on which you primarily have based your livelihood. Almost all of us have performed some sort of activity or another - whether as a hobby, in a previous job, or as a charitable volunteer - that could add significantly to our resume of skills and talents.
To make the old, unused skill more readily apparent, now might be a good time to bring your knowledge up to current by searching for information which may complement yours on the subject. Get current in all of the details about the specific skill. Then, just add that skill to your resume and be prepared to discuss it with prospective employers. You know, employers are always more interested in people that can 'wear many hats' and that extra skill just might give you a real advantage in the interview process.
Who knows, that extra little skill may be just the thing to get your hired!
