hugs to you I lost my job on 11/13/09. I was with my company 16 years. I have spent the past 2 weeks looking and looking. Not htis week I am focusing on planning a schedule so I am not bouncing all over. The good news is one of the recuiters I spoke with told me many companies are realizing they cut back too much and are now beginning to plan to open up some positions after the beginning of the year. Stay positive.
