		<description><![CDATA[Still having trouble getting through to the EDD?  We've already mentioned this strategy in our 'mas popular' post tips and tricks, but if it hasn't sunk it yet, check out Rudy's video blog below on how calling the Vietnamese hotline got him his checks.  Besides, although he doesn't actually give us a shout-out in his video, i'm pretty sure he learned about this trick via this site because he lists 'unemploymentality' as one of his video tags. Thanks Rudy, right back atcha!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Especially in today’s economic environment, many people have found themselves among the ranks of the unemployed through no fault of their own. Some people are fortunate enough to find other work immediately; others are not so lucky and seek work in vain for months or even years. Unemployment benefits bridge the gap for many out-of-work individuals but, over time, this can become a trap for some who become accustomed to drawing unemployment and lose touch with the working world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following was written by the late great Kurt Vonnegut.  His advice was intended for graduate students but I think there's a few good kernels of advice in there that could be inspirational to the unemployed.  Especially the bits about napping and not forwarding emails (I didn't even know there was email in 1991!)]]></description>
