Personally, I have a lot of friends that have been recently laid off and are having trouble finding a new job that will adequately replace their old ones. The job market is just very competitive right now, and a lot of folks are finding that it takes some time before they can find a new job. I think the people that have the biggest advantage are those that use resources like the internet to find out about as many jobs as possible. This is especially true if the person has special training, such as a dietitian. Dietitians have access to great resource at dietitianjobs.net where they can post their resume and easily browse dietitian jobs. It makes it a lot easier to find out about opportunities and eventually land that very important next job!
