Unemployment across the nation has reached record highs. When many Americans find themselves without jobs, however, they often don't know where to turn.
The internet offers a myriad of resources for the unemployed, but navigating these resources is often challenging and time-consuming, and frequently a general understanding of the process is required. Our goal in creating Unemployment 411 is to provide a one stop shop for what to do and where to turn when you lose your job. While we are not a job site with openings, like Monster or CareerBuilder, we do post resources to help position yourself to find a new job.
Our bloggers are comprised of leadership within MAXIMUS, a leading provider of government programs across the US and the world. Many of our writers currently run or have run employment programs that help individuals secure sustainable jobs. We also reach out to members of the think tank and academic communities and to representatives from federal, state, and county governments to write posts.
We hope you find our site helpful. In all honesty, this blog is our organization's first foray into the blogosphere, so we'll certainly have to tweak things as we go along. But please keep in mind, this is by no means something we're being paid to offer by a government client or anyone for that matter. We started it because we have a team of passionate staff, who thought a blog would be the easiest way to disseminate best practices from our programs to the general public.
So feel free to post a comment--suggest how we can tailor the site to better fit your needs; share a tip you think other readers may find useful; connect with others. If you like what you see, please pass our blog along.
Finally, thanks for checking us out and good luck!
