Being unemployed for the past 15 months have been very difficult to handle,  I spend a lot of time networking, and registering with employment agencies.  These were futile attempts because one month lead to 15 months with endless dead end.  I was very frustrated. I thought my situation was hopeless. Anyone who suffers a job loss knows how difficult it is to be unemployed for a long time. However, my situation changed when a friend suggested reading the newspaper classified. The job search was easier because the paper had several jobs in my field. I was able to obtain a job two weeks after I reviewed the newspaper listing.
