I was watching the Today Show this morning and they had an excellent segment on strategies for the unemployed.  As an HR professional, I found this segment to be well done and the advice given was spot on.

Highlights of the tips included:

1.  Get the word out AND network.  Use social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter

2.  Know your financial situation and modify your spending habits

3.  Be realistic in your job search – ONLY search for positions that you are qualified for

4. Revise or write your resume

5. Looking for a job is a full-time job – approach it that way
