Whats the cost of being unemployed -

Whats the cost of being unemployed - Recently, my colleague  Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter  of Career Trend Resumes and Writing shared some information via  Dawn Bugni (Twitter:  @dawnbugni), who referenced the July 2009 Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches newsletter that highlighted the cost of lost wages to job seekers in a variety of income levels. This is the data from Jacquis blog: If you expect a  $20,000 salary, your weekly salary is $384.61 and an  18 week job hunt will cost you $6,992.98. If you are looking for a job with a  $50,000 salary, your weekly salary is $961.54 and an  18 week job hunt costs you $17,307.69. If you are hoping for a  $100,000 salary, your weekly salary is $1,923.08 and an  18 week job hunt costs you $34,615.38. Clearly, it behooves job seekers to do everything they can to shorten their searches to land as quickly as possible. Jacquis post, which you should read in its entirety HERE, reminds readers that navigating a job search without a compass costs valuable time and money.
