COMMUNITY
Don't forget about our LinkedIn group, the Jobseeking is Hard Community!
We now have ~3,300 members!! If you're looking for a job, this group is for you. Here you can freely talk about your job search...the ups, the downs, the frustrations, what works, what doesn't work. It's an unlisted group, meaning it doesn't appear in search results for non-group members and is not visible to others on members’ profiles. This community is here to help each other, passing on leads and ideas. And most importantly, support, encouragement, and empathy.
