Interview a job seeker

With the unemployment rate currently at 10.2 percent, many Americans likely know someone who is looking for work.  

 

We want to hear their stories. Interview a friend, family member or acquaintance who is unemployed and find out his or her situation.  

 

Here are some suggested questions:

 

1. How long have you been looking for work?

2. Do you still have confidence that you will find a job?

3. How have you supplemented your income in the meantime?

4. Is this your first time being unemployed?

 

Keep the conversations short – no longer than three minutes – and be sure to provide basic details about the person you profile.
