		<description>Thank you for the timely post.  I can personally vouch for the power of networking and blogging as someone who is working at building a business during difficult times. I find persistence and strategy have really helped me make progress.  I also make sure to stay up with past contacts and clients as you never know who will give you your next job.</description>

		<description>Thanks for such a great post! I&#039;m a new grad who majored in PR and am finding that there isn&#039;t a big market in Phoenix for entry-level positions. It is a huge possibility that my first job out of college may be in a call center. If that is the case, then I plan to volunteer in PR or marketing until I find a job in my field. Thanks for making me realize that I am not the only who finds herself in this situation and that comebacks are possible.</description>

		<description>Great post Charlotte! I think you have some excellent advice for people to prepare for potential job loss. When I found myself in this situation the best thing I found for myself was staying positive and networking.

That plus hard work and networking throughout my employment lead people to see what I was capable of, my professionalism and commitment to my future. Luckily, because of a lot of things you mention, I landed a great new position in a short amount of time. If people follow your advice they will find themselves much more prepared and better off!</description>
