Step 1: Use social media 充分利用社會媒體網(wǎng)絡(luò)，如Facebook和Twitter，尋找和你處境相似的人
Use social media networks, like Facebook and Twitter, along with dedicated forums, such as layoffspace.com, to connect with other unemployed people. Search for groups in your region or for industries similar to yours.

Continue networking even after you get a job. Many job search groups have an alumni network for those who have been hired so you can help those who helped you.

Step 2: Check the newspaper 多瀏覽一些當(dāng)?shù)氐膱?bào)紙，了解一些失業(yè)救助團(tuán)體
Check your local newspaper for listings of unemployment support groups. Many groups meet weekly at churches and community centers. They provide valuable information about job training and potential openings.

Use your professional profile, on sites like LinkedIn, to reach out to those in your industry affected by unemployment. Offer to share experiences and tips.

Step 3: Start a blog 創(chuàng)建博客，多寫寫自己的求職經(jīng)歷
Start a blog outlining your job search experiences. You’ll get feedback from others hunting for a new job — and your blog may even result in a job offer.

Step 4: Check government sites 瀏覽一些政府網(wǎng)站，也可以從中尋找工作機(jī)會
Look at your county or state’s labor bureau website for resume writing tips, unemployment support groups, and job openings.

Step 5: Create your own group 可以創(chuàng)建一個(gè)失業(yè)者群，相互多多交流
Create your own unemployment support group to serve as a networking opportunity. Advertise on Facebook or in your local newspaper. Connecting with others will help you stay positive in your search and relieve your sense of isolation.

At the height of the Great Depression, the unemployment rate reached 25 percent.
