It is now Monday September 19, 2011 and our data here at the One Stop shows us that a proportion of our local unemployed population has been looking for work longer than 52 weeks. Unless you are in those shoes you could only imagine the difficulties that these jobseekers are experiencing financial and otherwise. I myself at the height of our recession was unemployed for a number of months and I must say that they were some of the most stressful uncertain months of my life. I want to say to all individuals out there looking for work that there may not be a lot that you can control about the economy, the job market and employers hiring at this time, but the one thing you can control is your attitude about your situation. I was once told that most dilemmas in life will be overcome by perseverance, hard work, and keeping a positive attitude/outlook. This is easier said than done when you have been trying to persevere for 52 weeks. In the vein of this thought, the following is just a little entertainment and inspiration to help you get up and continue to persevere.
