Our hearts & prayers go out to everyone unemployed & underemployed. This is a test, not just on the checkbook, but on our core belief in ourself. One possibility that is worth looking at while you wait for that dream job to call....is self-employment. You can go it alone or partner with someone NOT like you, but someone with skills that are complimentary to yours. If you can sell, find a geeky numbers person. If you are that geeky numbers person, you better find someone who can sell something. He or she is looking for you.
A few possibilities....housepainter (in & out), housecleaner (it's hard work but pays good), yard layout,design & maintenance, fastfood delivery (I'm talking about McDonalds, KFC, all of them),caterer/party planner, pickup & delivery of tools & material for the thousands of independent roofers, siding guys and construction guys working today. Look at HireMeNow.com.
Make your lifestyle match your income...not the other way around.
One final thought. When you hit the streets everyday, decide that you will do what you say...this will set you apart. Your honesty and disposition will be tested. You have to see yourself serving Someone bigger than yourself..representing Someone bigger than yourself.
