Venting about the Recession

Today’s Wall Street Journal career gem features a few great websites for the unemployed and frustrated to commiserate. I’ve added a few of them to my Links section and thought the article would be a healthy read for the many struggling executives who need a reminder that they’re certainly not alone.
“It’s all part of a growing movement of community-organized groups formed around the country aimed at helping the laid-off cope with the recession and get their careers back on track. Most were launched by people who lost jobs themselves and couldn’t find the resources they needed to land new ones. The groups — found both online and off — do everything from hosting workshops to providing place where job seekers can vent and share stories.”
Online groups, blogs, networking meet-ups, and seminars are offered all over by these groups and their popularity is growing as swiftly as the unemployment rate. If you count yourself as one of the pink-slipped pro’s out there, take a read.
