Some fantastic resources for job seekers, but I thought I'd also mention <a href="http://www.odesk.com" rel="nofollow">oDesk</a> as a site that offers job opportunities for freelancers. Great info, though! :-) Thanks for a great post (and well timed).

Here's a possibility many overlook, and it could fit in both the first and second points about going back to school or starting a business. Since so many are talking about being more creative during this economic slump, 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. leavethejobbehind.com There are some tips and points in your article that could really make the difference for some looking for a job.

I Started a small manufacturing business 45 days ago and closed my first deal in 3 weeks. I designed a plastic injector to make things out of plastic. Anyway I sell them and various other things for people to build their own products. One of my customers is making President Obama medallions to sell in washington and harlem.
