Hi. My name was Vicki. And I was downsized last year. And now I’m pursuing my passion, journalism - yipee! Writing a piece for a major NYC daily newspaper about folks who have been unemployed for over a year. Hence, this note to 405ers. I’d love to hear your story, how your morale has changed, how the job search has changed and how you’re answering questions on the interview regarding your search. Please email me — vicki@vickisalemi.com. The piece will have a positive tone and offer tips to fellow job seekers. Thanks.
