I found this particularly interesting. If you do your own taxes, there is a provision for job-seekers to deduct the expense of looking for a job from your taxes. This is particularly good in these times when gas prices are hitting $4.00/gal in many areas of the country. Why should everything have to hit your wallet?
So, you can deduct your job search expenses. Make sure that you keep accurate records, like mileage driven, stamp receipts, etc. to get every deduction possible.
But... did you know that if you were EMPLOYED and LOOKING for a new job, you could also deduct job-seeker expenses? This is a copy and post to help you in the future from http://Hired911.com to help you.
Looking for a new job not only takes time, it also can cut into your bank account. A sheet of stamps, $8.80. Quality paper for your printer, $9. Printer ink, $16. And mileage to your job interviews. Miniscule expenses can add up over time. Fortunately, the IRS allows some job-search expenses as deductions on your income tax statement -- even when you're job hunting while still employed. If you don't land a new job, you can still declare these expenses. However, you can not deduct job-search expenses if you are a new graduate looking for a first job. Read more.

After watching the White House launch of Startup America, I realized what a vital service http://Hired911.com does for the Green community. Green is the obvious keyword for everything that saves energy, and this consolidation of many job sites into a single portal saves you time and energy. It also lets you turn off your computer sooner after you have applied for the job of your dreams on every given day.
I find it exciting to be part of the Green community where with every new http://Hired911.com user we are saving more and more money. At 12 cents per kilowatt hours x 1 hour per day x 100,000 households that can use http://Hired911.com daily = $12,000 in energy per day saved! In a year nearly $4.4 million in savings - just because you worked more efficiently. Of course your personal savings of .12 cents per day adds up to $43.80 saved annually.

More Jobs for American Workers
January 24, 2011
According to an NABE Industry Survey you can expect to see more jobs coming around soon. The hiring is spurred by increased demand, increased profit margins, and increased capital spending. This could mean very good news for job seekers. Even today in Flint, MI the GM corporation announced 600 jobs to be added to staff up a third shift operation.
Sharpen up your resumes now and start targeting your new job position. Make sure your resume meets or exceeds the expectations of the recruiter and the employer. Hopefully your next interview will be the answer you and your family have waited for.

Networking and the job search - The Diligent Survive
From the book of Proverbs 10:4
He who deals with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes one rich.
After landing my job I started to consider how many people were calling after I stopped sending resumes. I was averaging 3-5 recruiter contacts per week. That number dropped to 2 contacts in the week after I stopped sending resumes, then to 1 contact in the 2nd week. This week, there have been no recruiter contacts.
What did that tell me?
Let's start with the facts - employers say and likely do keep your resume on file for 6 months after you apply. That does not mean that they will be looking you up any time soon. Some businesses actively scrub the big job engines like Monster looking for resumes that might match up with franchise deals, or perhaps local sales talent.
What was different was my diligence to seek, call, and send my resume to a person. When I stopped making contact, they stopped calling. Does this apply to every recruiter? No, absolutely not. There are some retained services that may charge you to be your best friend! They will be actively seeking to get you a job.
So, be diligent. Treat your job search like a job. Use every resource available. Hired911.com was designed to put the best resources at your fingertips to save you time so you can do something fun after you have put your best effort into looking for new employment.
Be sure to click on More Listings! to find the job sites that pertain to your industry. The job seeker's goal is to not generalize too much but look for listings in the niche markets. Why? Because if an employer is looking for a nurse, it's more effective to list on a Nursing site vs. on a much larger (general) site. Only nurses will be looking on a nursing website for work!
