Unemployment: The First 48 Hours In homicide parlance, the first 48 hours of an investigation are crucial.

Unemployment: Become Your Own Job Coach Try reframing your perspective and instead of looking at yourself as an unemployed applicant, think of yourself as a professional job coach. Your mission is to assist someone in finding work. Luckily, you have only one client to devote your time and effort to: YOU. Unemployment Blues: Are We Pre-Programmed To Be Productive? To feel productive seems to be an inherent human need. We feel good about ourselves when we are contributing -- to our own independence, to our family, to our community.
