Nightly Unemployment Report

Dana Bate continues her advice for the unemployed in this transcript from the Nightly Business Report television show:
Surviving Unemployment.

Highlights:

1. Meditation for stress management
2. Focus on the present rather than worring about the future
3. Develop a purposeful routine
4. Stay involved in your industry
5. Be flexible and nimble: "24 hours could be too late."

Encourage your customers by promoting the same steps and by following them:

1. Calm your customers' fears. Relax and don't take on customers' stress.
2. Focus on practical tasks your customer can accomplish each day/week.
3. Provide structure during customer meetings. Complete tangible activities with your customer.
4. Alert customers to professional organizations, job fairs, and other gatherings.
5. Support daily and independent job searches. Does your customer's job search only consist of help you provide?
