Thanks for commenting! Tim,

I think many job seekers thing they are being productive when they are on the job boards…but it’s usually just an illusion and meeting people and having real conversations is always a better use of a job seeker’s time. Thanks for commenting!

I am a Marketing Professional with 10 years experience. I have been a job seeker since April 09 and have heard all of these statements from various people in my life. I have learned who I can talk to about my search and with whom its best to just avoid the topic all together. My all time favorite comment was when someone suggested I be a nanny for a friend who is a newly single mother. I just looked at her stunned wondering why on earth she thinks that would be a good step for my job search goals? That ranked up there with being told I should just get a job at Burger King because some money is better than no money. Some people just don't get it, I feel lucky that I have been able to find many people in my world who are very supportive, they just aren't always the ones I expected.
