Introduction:
I have kicked around this idea for ages – writing something about how we progeeks with jobs can help those without. I finally figured I'd do it as a series of blog posts and see how it goes. Yeah, you know me, sometimes I need to just try an idea out and not dither so much.
We've been there before. We know people out of work and we want to help, yet it's frustrating at the same time. There seems to be an infinite amount we can do, yet we're not sure where to start – and what will work.
I've been in your position. I've had many friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and so on have issues with unemployment. So I'm going to be writing up individual things you can try, bite-sized morsels of advice to help your friends and family out in their job search.
