WELCOME TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT DIGEST

Quote of the week: “Things may come to those that wait, but only the things left by those that hustle” – Abraham Lincoln

Tip of the week...
Interview speech checklist:
1- When interviewing, do you sound confident and positive? Or negative and depressed? Go for a confident, positive demeanor.
2- Is your speech heavily loaded with “hmm” or “uhh”?
3- Do you speak too loud? or too soft?
4- Do you cut others off when speaking? Let the interviewer finish their sentences.
