Maybe it's just me, but I had to skip a lot of the show by fast-forwarding. Couldn't watch the whole segment on the HR guy. He sounded too whiny for my taste (complaining on and on about every company wanted a different style resume and he had to redo his resume each time, he hadto call them for a follow-up and all that takes a lot of time etc, etc), but maybe he was oozing with confidence when he first started looking for a job. He talked like someone who felt totally defeated. As a matter of fact, many of them sounded depressed and miserable. but I guess unplanned unemployment for a prolonged period of time does that to people.
I really felt for the dancer turning carpenter guy who lost his house and wife at the same time... He looked bewildered - I cannot even begin to imagine what he was going through.
Do you remember this guy who was supposedly weathly but then had some financial fallout and then a stroke? (He was renting a room from the hair dresser's sister in Florida). Maybe I pay for Long Term Disability insurance through work (I think it was like $30 every 2 weeks....) starting next year.. Does anybody have that? If I had something major like that, I would be ruined financially, for sure.
