We want you to meet 8 good people. Though they live in different states, have different family situations and life experiences, and represent different generations, they have a few things in common:
• They support their local libraries, vote, pay taxes and love their families.
• They’re all college-educated, highly skilled professionals with years of experience and excellent references.
• They’re all writers, of sorts, who’ve enjoyed success in the past and have been lucky enough to fulfill at least part of the American dream and buy a home.
• They all need to work to cover living expenses and help support their families.
• They’ve been unemployed for more than a year, exhausted their unemployment benefits and are scraping by on odd-and-end jobs and/or using up savings to cover their living expenses.
And oh yes: they’ve tried everything you’re supposed to try when looking for work - tapping into their network of friends and former colleagues, keeping daily tabs on local classified and online job boards, applying for dozens (and in a few cases, hundreds) of jobs, and marketing their skills and services to anyone who will listen.
