As a response to college students struggling to find success in the job market, many colleges and universities now offer several new services and departments designed primarily to help students become more successful in their transitions.

So your career has been on hold for awhile. You’ve taken some time for yourself, whether it be to raise a family, pursue a hobby, or care for loved ones, and even though you have not been working. But how to go about getting a regular job?
You’re out of work and there aren’t many jobs out there. You’re not getting job offers or even call-backs for interviews. You’re feeling vulnerable and desperate. Unfortunately, you’re just the person scammers are looking for.
If you are one of the many Americans who suffered a layoff in the last couple of years, you may have found yourself living on unemployment benefits for quite awhile.

With the economy continuing along its current course, this story is all too common. And yet, you don’t have to let the days slip by in a blur of ads and applications. There are a few things you can do to pull yourself out of that funk, utilize your time wisely, and maybe even find an alternative to punching a time-clock to earn a paycheck.
