Be Positive When Explaining Your Unemployment

Peggy,
That was a great video and your sincerity really came across. Yes, being unemployed sometimes provokes me into lumping together a sad tale and it is just not good for my soul or wallet!
So thanks for reminding us that unemployment is just a temporary “status.” It is very discouraging when employers look at those where were laid off as “undesirable.” However, if that’s the organization’s or hiring manager’s perspective, then that’s not where I want to be or who I want to work for. I think you have a great product and service. Wish you continued success.
