This is the kind of blog post I really like. One that offers lots of good resources. The one thing about job loss is that it makes you feel so powerless. By offering information, you are giving each person a chance to regain some of their self-esteem. It's a good reminder that even though we really feel badly for someone who has lost a job, the best thing we can do is offer them contacts, job resources, etc.,...and a shoulder to lean on when they need it.
