Creative? Thankful? It's interesting that virtues play such a huge role in finding a job, but they do. Regarding the creative part for a moment, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another in the first place? I know, I know, but stay with me for a moment. It's amazing that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not "conventional" enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy. Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but thinking that way can be a kind of tunnel vision that keeps many from learning skills that would allow them to carve out their own path to income and contribution. One of them is as close as the computer in front of you. No really, for the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves. There ARE ways to learn this stuff, if you can avoid all the junk and find good and reputable sources. I've worked/played from home since March of 1996 and while it has it's challenges, I wouldn't trade the flexibility and time-freedom for even a great 9 to 5. leavethejobbehind.com Patient? Creative?

Many of us are seeking solutions to finding work when there's less work available than ever. Another great book that I recommend is "Knock ‘em Dead 2009: The Ultimate Job Search Guide" by Martin Yate. I think this is the most realistic guide to what it takes, how to go about it, market realities, etc. Great post.
