In Manhattan, Boomers got up and out in frigid weather to wait on line for a job fair. Most were told to go to the web site to apply.

Job seekers, this is really the point: don’t spend more than 20% of your time online to get a job. Prep your materials, get them out, but above all – go talk with real people.

People help people get jobs. People help people get jobs. People help people get jobs. People help people get jobs.
People help people get jobs. People help people get jobs.

Got it?  I’m serious – talk with a live person today.
