Learn New Skills to Help Land a Job in Cleveland
If you are doing all of the right things and following all of the correct steps to try to land a new job in Cleveland and are still not seeing any progress in your job hunt, it may be time for you to learn a few new skills. Even learning just one new skill can greatly increase your desirability as a potential new employee. There are many workshops in the Cleveland area that you can take free, or for just a small fee. I recently found a webpage on Cleveland.com that lists all of the available free or very affordable classes in the area that you can take to learn a new skill. The link that I am going to send you to has only a few class dates left in December, but keep checking the page after the holidays, as I am sure more will be posted after the holidays are over. Here is the link:

Cleveland Seasonal Employment: Who is Hiring?
To the many Clevelanders who are unemployed, seasonal jobs may not sound like a very good opportunity. Most Cleveland job seekers want a job that is going to last, but they should not disregard seasonal jobs.

You never know, you may receive a job offer that you are able to start immediately after your seasonal job is over. In the end, money is money and, if you need money, a seasonal job is a great way to earn some. Here are some Cleveland area seasonal job openings:

What's the Deal with Cleveland Temp Agencies?
This is my first post on this blog, but I definitely have experience searching for a job in the hideous Cleveland job market. Why do you think I gave up and started writing online instead? I do have a friend who is currently searching for a job in the Cleveland area, and I thought that I would chronicle some of his experiences to show other Clevelanders that they are not alone in their struggle in looking for a job. He was recently laid off from a job that he had for over a year. Not long, by any means, but sadly the job he had before that he was laid off from also. He was with the latter company for over five years. Getting to the subject at hand: What's the deal with Cleveland Temp agencies? Are they a viable resource for finding a job? I mean a real, full- or part-time or temp to hire job?

Manufacturing is a Pretty Accessible Career Choice
My husband used to work in manufacturing, and while he was laid off, there seem to be many other manufacturing jobs available. Unfortunately most of them are a commute of at least an hour or longer away from us, making the trip there and back too much for what the jobs are worth. Still, these are the jobs that call back most often, and it’s no wonder why. They train you as soon as you start (usually paid training), don’t expect a lot of experience, offer decent pay for a basic skill set, and even have flexible shifts; most manufacturing plants that I know of have an early day, afternoon, and evening shift.
