April Nagel of firstPRO Staffing and Executive Search Appears Live on CNN




On Saturday, March 21, I appeared live on CNN Newsroom Saturday to address concerns about finding a job in tough economic times. The hour long segment featured an expert panel who offered advice to three job seeking candidates.

This was an opportunity to show viewers how to take control of their job search. We identified the most common mistakes that job seekers make, and offered some practical tips for surviving a layoff and landing another job. I also directed viewers to indeed.com, a resource for job trends, salaries and postings. In addition to this, I highlighted the SimplyHired.com, a job search engine that researches thousands of job sites and companies on the web.

In the end, I'm optimistic about the job search as a whole. Don’t be ashamed that you have been laid off. Be proactive and seek a solution. Tell everyone you know that you are out of work. You never know where the next great lead could be.
