Sometimes people are amazing. From what is printed in the paper and on TV one would assume that people just don't care for each other any more. These days I am even more convinced that those stories are printed because they sell papers not reflect the truth about people.
As I have been working my job search I have been networking. It just amazes me that total strangers will risk their credibility by introducing and in some cases vouching for each other. Now you might think that this is limited to those who are in similar straights but several people in the last week or so have been willing to connect me with people they know. If it stopped there it would be great but it keeps going. Those people who may have only had a five minute phone conversation with me are willing to introduce me to people they know.
The moral of this story relates back to the ask for help post. Don't be afraid to ask people to help you. Most of them are more than happy to lend a hand. Why? There are more reasons than I have time for today but regardless of their motivation the kindness of strangers is a wonderful thing. Don't forget to pass on your own help. It will come back to you in multiples.
