Are you one of America's recently downsized? Are you looking at your "options"? Should you be going down the traditional career path? You know, the one that includes a resume re-do, online job searching, and mega-trips to your local dry cleaner to get your business attire cleaned and pressed?
Or, are you one of America's recently downsized, who is looking to gain some career control, and become your own boss?
Whatever path you are on, do you remember how this all started?
"I remember my dad coming home from work early one afternoon, with a look on his face that I hadn’t seen in awhile. His face revealed the combined feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, and fear, for all of us to see that day. He had been downsized. Again. For those of you who have ever been downsized, I’ll bet you remember your feelings the day it happened to you, too."
