The Dissolution of Unemployed in Des Moines
When I was laid off from my last traditional job in February 2009, I searched high and low, as did many individuals at that time, for my next job.
I found many individuals who were in the same situation, with few resources to help us become better job seekers. That’s why I founded Unemployed in Des Moines. This group helped me hone my website building skills, helped me understand the power of social media to bring people together around a shared interest, understand the value of networking and to be more comfortable speaking in public.
