President Obama Appears on LinkedIn This Week- My Take - CareerEnlightenment.com

Also, I would agree with the President in most cases that your unemployment or difficulty finding work may not be your fault. But I dont think sitting around waiting for your unemployment benefits to get extended is the right approach either. The challenges we face as job seekers present us with an opportunity to really refine our professional image, polish off our networking skills and invest in training ourselves to be more  competitive.This is a call to work both harder and smarter for your career. Your professional survival depends on your ability to adapt. There are 4 Americans for every available job on the low end. Not everyone is going to win. Thats the reality.Be proactive. Stay positive. Use technology strategically.Thats my message and a message I hoped would have been more present in the talk.
