Job Facts & Stats

Apparently, there's no place like home—or some place close to home—for most job seekers. Over the past 23 years, the percentage of Americans who relocated for new jobs has fallen by 68%. Only about two of every 15 who take new jobs relocate. In 1986, more than two of every five (41.8%) did so.

Success Story

I responded to a job ad with my own resume and brief cover letter. After a week I heard nothing. Then I found Pongo's site and created a much nicer resume and cover letter and re-sent it to the same employer. A day later she called me and scheduled an interview. At the interview, she told me that she was not going to call me based on my first submission because "it told her nothing about me." She said the second one impressed her and that I should buy lunch for "whoever" helped me with it. I don't know if it will result in a job but it is definitely helping with getting interviews. - Linda B.
