UNEMPLOYMENT - HUMAN RESOURCES
Talent management is very complex in today's business climate with mergers, acquisitions, world events and market trends drastically changing. In addition, competition is increasing for most businesses
Executive recruitment is an important component. Top level hires must understand the business community and the additional challenges. They must be able to develop new strategies that take into account the global economy. There are new demands, as well, on executives to make their businesses environmentally friendly.
One word typifies the most important aspect businesses must embrace to remain competitive these days: service. Companies that do not provide good customer service will not survive in this new business climate. Their customers will look elsewhere, to their competitors. Savvy customers comparison shop and know, through experience or reputation, whether a business provides good service.
Unemployment:
Unemployment is driven by many variables, social, economic and political.
If you should lose your source of income, start networking immediately. Introduce yourself to those who can potentially help you find a job. Stay active. Don't close your eyes to any opportunity. Consider taking a full-time or part-time job that may be outside your usual expertise or under your former salary level. The important thing is to stay active, earn money, boost your morale and make new contacts; even if they are persons whose jobs are not in your field.
Many people are unhappy with what they are doing and cry for a change. Maybe this is your opportunity to make that change, who knows? There are many examples of people who take a job outside their field and find it unexpectedly rewarding, both financially and professionally.
The most dangerous things one can feel when unemployed is that of worthlessness.
3. Start a job hunt, now.
4. Just like when you’re starting out, job hunts do have some downtime in between interviews so try to do things that would lift up your spirits. Take on a hobby or some volunteer work. Exercise. Physical activity helps pump endorphins (happy chemicals) that would help you boost your morale.
You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.

Apart from being a social and economic problem, unemployment is an individual misfortune that, in many cases, can become a personal tragedy that damages an entire family's relationships.
Apart from being a social and economic problem, unemployment is an individual misfortune that, in many cases, can become a personal tragedy that damages an entire family's relationships.
Statistics on unemployment do not convey the personal crisis that may come into play. When you are unemployed, you do not care whether you are one in a million or one in five. You care about getting another job and getting through this difficult period.

If possible, involve your family. Tell them what you are doing and ask for their ideas. Get them to collaborate with you, inquiring about companies, typing correspondence, answering telephone calls and so on.
The most dangerous things one can feel when unemployed is that of worthlessness.1. It is normal to feel sad if you suddenly find yourself unemployed. Set a grieving period but as soon as it ends, think of only the now and the future. There’s much to be done and never let the past bog you down.
2. Don’t be a bum. A typical coping mechanism is just loafing on the couch, drinking brews and watching games and reruns of whatever program there is to watch. While you are missing out on possible job opportunities, you are also letting your health deteriorate.
3. Start a job hunt, now.4. Just like when you’re starting out, job hunts do have some downtime in between interviews so try to do things that would lift up your spirits. Take on a hobby or some volunteer work. Exercise. Physical activity helps pump endorphins (happy chemicals) that would help you boost your morale.
5. If there is an issue with money, list down your financial assets - your cash, deposits, and investments - and make a budget for the tough months ahead.
6. If you aren’t having any luck securing a stable long-term work, try exploring other options like consultancy and freelancing. There’s a lot of freelance work available. While it doesn’t present that long-term security, at least you’ll have something to tide you over for the time being.
7. Consider a career shift. The economy may have an effect on the viability of your field so why not try out other career paths. Who knows? Your current skill sets can be used in other fields. Try consulting a career counselor for some precious advice.
8. How long has it been since you felt glamorous? Being beautiful is largely dependent on the outside as it is on the inside. With your busy schedule, you probably don’t have the time to give yourself the pampering you deserve. But with a few minutes you can turn back time and also a few heads.
9. Everyone gets burned out sometimes. We all go through the same hellish experience of being depressed, exhausted, drained and just plain tired of everything. However, it is up to us to regain our cheerfulness so we can be our happy selves again.
10. Giving oneself enough quality time is not as easy as it used to be.
Some things you can do with your new free time:
STIMULATE YOUR BRAIN. Get yourself interested in any topic, even if it is totally unrelated to your field.
CONNECT WITH NATURE: Do something that you may have overlooked in the past. Putter in your garden. Do things that involve water, the earth, sunlight and wind.
EXERCISE: Physical exertion helps a lot. Don't be afraid to work up a sweat and burn off some calories.
VOLUNTEER: Undertake projects that pay you back with good feelings for serving not for monetary gain. You'll be surprised how this can pay off for you in the future.
DON’T COMPLAIN: Don't focus on negatives. Look for positive things in life. Surround yourself with people who are successful and who have positive attitudes of their own.
EAT HEALTH: This is a good time to take the time to prepare healthy foods. You don't have the excuse of too much work to take the time to eat well any longer. This can turn into a life-long habit that you'll take with you to your next job.

Losing a job does not make you incompetent. In fact, in today's economy, YOU know why you don't have a job. I remember the good old days when you could get a job if your breath could fog a mirror.
Okay, now you are over your depression and are on the hunt for the job of your choice. Don't pay attention to the unemployment statistics. Remember, you only need ONE job, not all of them. I promise you, you will find that job.

Regarding the comment above, I would hope you don't sit around waiting for an opportunity to come knocking while your going thru your depression. The more you remain stagnant the less likely you are to get that one job. Surely you can put on a happy face even though your depressed or bring out the actor in you. Never let it show your depressed or bitter about previous experiences. Negative attitudes produce negative results stay positive. But the poster never pointed out what part of the article she actually disagreed with either. So I'm confused.
