Never ever in the wildest of my thoughts did i think that I will be unemployed. I was 100% confident that I will never be part of the "unemployed statistics" Here are the reasons why;
1. I am a person with high energy and high motivation,and very ambitious with a zeal to go extra MILES to get the job done.
2. Strong soft skills with an stronger resume of education (Ph.D. + MBA in finance) and experience.
Though I still can't come to terms , I AM unemployed with no unemployment benefits. Too ASHAMED to extended family or ex-collegaues that I am Unemployed.
Ashamed and burdened with the $110K in student loan from my 2 years of MBA education!! which I did not need as I have a Ph.D.. But being the ambitious and hardworking and a passion for learning, went to school and my ROI is PAIN and SHAME!
10h/day of job searching over the past 100 days has given me great netowrking opportunities and comments like "your resume is impressive" but not a job!
Hi,
I'm a cnn viewer who saw this 30 second pitch initiative for the first time on january 7th. Lots of people like to criticize major network for all sorts of reasons. I would like to congratulate this beautiful and very sensitive initiative on behalf of all people looking for work. When I saw this, I immediately got on my computer and wanted to participate by sending a donation to keep this initiative going and realize I'm presently unemployed. Therefore, my best contribution would be in a form of something more valuable than money: support and recognition of human kindness. Thank you all the way from Montreal and you definitively have my support and attention for years to come.
