It&#8217;s pretty hard to be unemployed-but it&#8217;s harder to watch your friends suffer through unemployment. We all want the best for our friends, but of course you probably don&#8217;t have the option to just give your friend a job. However, here are some things you can do to help a friend find a job.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><strong>Step\u00a01<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>Ask Around at Work. If you want to help a friend find a job, look around for\u00a0job\u00a0openings\u00a0at your job. Ask a few of the supervisors, and do some networking to see if a position will open up soon. If nothing else, help a friend find a job by keeping their resume on file at your place of work-that way, if a job does open up, they will have a better chance of getting the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step\u00a02<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>Ask Friends and Family. If you want to help a friend find a job, always keep a lookout for job openings. Check bulletins at work, and ask your coworkers. \u00a0Talk to your friends and ask them if they know of anyone who&#8217;s hiring. Family members also work great for networking. \u00a0Make a list of names and numbers of contacts to help your friend find a job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step\u00a03<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Help with Resume and\u00a0Cover\u00a0Letter. You probably won&#8217;t be able to find a job for your friend right away, but while you&#8217;re looking, help your friend edit and revise their cover letter. If you want to help your friend find a job, a good resume and cover letter can go a long way. Make suggestions and help your friend build a strong resume. If you want to help a friend find a job, offer to edit your friend&#8217;s cover letter as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step\u00a04<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Support your friend. When you find a job opening, be sure to contact your friend ASAP. Keep in contact with your friend, and give them pointers if they land an interview. If you want to help a friend find a job, be a good source of support. It can be tough dealing with unemployment, so be there to support your friend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step\u00a05<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Ask and send their resume. If you want to help a friend\u00a0get a job, ask if you can do a little of the work for them. If you find a job opening available, ask if you can submit your friends resume. Ask for permission to give your friends resume to your family and friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>source: <\/em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/how_5736320_friend-job.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eHow.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salaryfor.com\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color: #3399cc;\">click here for more salary information<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the economy these days it can be tough to find a job for yourself.
