I had a really sad email from an acquaintance of mine today. We went through our accounting certification together. He's highly skilled, talented, a dedicated worker, and he's now been unemployed for a year too, and hasn't been able to pick anything up, not even contract stuff.

So he's thinking of making a shift into proofreading and editorial and can I help as I have lots of contacts still in the publishing industry, or at least those I haven't completely burned. I'll do my best to help him, but it's hard to tell him, that it's an industry in serious decline and that proofreader's make crap.

I at least can say I spent a good chunk of my unemployed time in rehab or treatment programs which will ultimately help me.

It's just sad.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
