One of the most devastating impacts of long-term unemployment is the feeling of hopelessness that can set in among those who have been rejected – or perhaps not even called – time after time.

Whether he is looking to do work similar to what he was doing in the past or looking for a completely new career, opportunities abound for developing skills. Local and online classes, libraries, and other cheap and free options provide those with the time and desire to develop new skills the means to do so even with little or no money. The skill or skills that a person adds to their resume may make a major difference in opening doors in the future.
