I've really got to stop watching the news... truth is I did not pay much attention to it until I became unemployed (which has been a year now, and still no luck in finding a job)... while some of the news may try to be positive, a bulk of it is about job cuts, bad economy... everyday.

CNN did make an attempt to give a list of companies who are hiring, and get this... Microsoft was one of them, who in fact announced last week that they are letting folks go... a hypocritical statement? Why did they not give the internal folks a chance to keep their jobs by moving them into the positions they are hiring for? Because they want to hire other folks for less money!

And for most of the other jobs listed on CNN's list... you have to have experience... how do you get experience if they don't give you a chance by hiring you and training you... you don't just graduate college, land a job and know what you are doing without them training you after you have been hired!

I have got to get back to my music and art... that is what is keeping me sane.

I work for a Fortune-500 high-tech company. What is common -- even in times of layoffs -- is for "limited hiring" to still occur. This hiring is often overseas or for very skilled knowledgeable engineers and executives, very specialized. Also, you can be sure that these jobs have been deemed a "critical fill" by the company. Likely all of the people being let go do not have these skills and can not pursue these jobs. It is not enough to be a warm body.

CNN announced a record breaking of 629,000 people hitting the unemployment line last week... that adds to the 4.8 million already collecting unemployment... many who applied over three months ago and still have not received their first check!!!
