"JOHN CARLOS FREY: They say they now have to dip into their savings just too pay their bills. She says things have gotten so bad, that when she’s not at her computer for several hours each day looking for work, she’s and her husband spend their free time watching TV just to lift their spirits."

I quit reading here. I work but can't afford cable. Internet is on my 3 g phone. I don't feel deprived.

Hitting the cyber-pavement?

There are no jobs inside your computer. I looked. There's just a lot of electronic stuff.

I’m not sure spending several hours a day on your computer is a good way to get a job. There are millions of unemployed with computers who are using the internet to try to find work.

If you want to stand out, do something “remarkable” like actually show up at businesses to fill out applications and ask about jobs.

For example, if I lost my job, I might go spend a week in a local retailer, watching their system and their performance. Then, I’d write up my ideas for improvement, and ask to see the head manager. I would explain how hiring me would pay for itself.
