Hunting for a job is rough, time-consuming and pressure-packed process. Nevertheless--when you boil it down--the job hunting process is a game. How well you play it will determine your future economic success. Of course, this game has rules (like most games do), and the rules are meant to be obeyed whether they are written or unwritten. For this month, we're going to hit on some of the basic rules and discuss how to play the game and keeping your sanity while job hunting in a tight, recession-laden economy.You may be asking yourself why such an article is needed. Simply stated, it has to do with some of the business articles I've been reading--including articles by and about people of color who are out on the job hunt.
Brothers, this is NOT the first recession that this country has been through. News flash? It will NOT be the last recession, depression or job slowdown you will see. As the 'old folks' used to say: "Just keep on LIVING and LEARN your lessons WELL!"

12 Things The Negro Must Do For Himself Nannie Helen Burroughs 12 Principles That Stand The Test Of Time 
Reprinted by popular demand. Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961) was an educator, orator, religious leader and businesswoman who moved to Washington, D.C., as a young woman to take advantage of the city's superior educational opportunities. The 12 Things The Negro Must Do For Himself was a booklet sold in the early 1900's. The retail price for this booklet was 10 cents. We learned about the book from Black Men In America.com Founder & Publisher Gary Johnson. His 92-year old grandmother gave him her original copy of the book several years ago. Here's a sample of the "12 Things" that many people believe are as relevant today as they were in the 1900's.1. The Negro Must Learn To Put First Things First. The First Things Are: Education; Development of Character Traits; A Trade and Home Ownership. The Negro puts too much of his earning in clothes, in food, in show and in having what he calls "a good time." The Dr. Kelly Miller said, "The Negro buys what he WANTS and begs for what he Needs." Too true!
2. The Negro Must Stop Expecting God and White Folk To Do For Him What He Can Do For Himself. It is the "Divine Plan" that the strong shall help the weak, but even God does not do for man what man can do for himself. The Negro will have to do exactly what Jesus told the man (in John 5:8) to do--Carry his own load--"Take up your bed and walk."
3. The Negro Must Keep Himself, His Children And His Home Clean And Make The Surroundings In Which He Lives Comfortable and Attractive. He must learn to "run his community up"--not down. We can segregate by law, we integrate only by living. Civilization is not a matter of race, it is a matter of standards. Believe it or not--some day, some race is going to outdo the Anglo-Saxon, completely. It can be the Negro race, if the Negro gets sense enough. Civilization goes up and down that way.
