Here’s a story for someone who has lost their job, been downsized, retrenched or made redundant.
During the great depression there was a man who could find a job anywhere he wanted. This when almost all businesses had signs up saying “not hiring, no help wanted, etc”; when millions were out of work.
First he studied an industry, then he picked a particular company in that industry. Then he studied everything he could about that company. Then he started to think how he could help that company improve their bottom line. Then he sent a personalised letter to the CEO:
“I have some ideas that I think could substantially improve the profit of your company. If you’re interested I’d be glad to sit down and share them with you.”
Couldn’t fail with that!
Think about how you can apply that today!
Share it with people you know who are out of work! Give them an edge.

My daughter took this picture of our dog RD holding a part of her design project. Completely accidental but I thought I’d share it because it’s such a great photo.
