How can we help people who need jobs?

This is not a thread about working vs. learning. This is a thread about helping people who have recently lost their jobs (or are feeling unstable in their current one and would like to jump ship).

I know of a number of people who have unfortunately lost their job recently. Not to mention many others who are afraid and looking over their shoulder. Anyone who is or ever was a breadwinner (and second income earners are breadwinners too, if their family relies on their earnings) knows how frightening this situation is. A breadwinner without a job is a desperate state to be in, may Hashem protect us from knowing anymore about this.

I was wondering if we can use the CR to network, in order to help anyone who is in this kind of trouble get another job, as quickly as possible. I know that there are other sites and organizations that do this kind of work, but I don’t think that adding a topic like this here can do any harm. Of course, the most important part of networking is centralizing the information, so anything that goes up here should also get posted on other sites. But having this thread may encourage the people here to find out about possible openings in their company (those who are working) and since people are comfortable here and may not be on other sites, let them post it here and then take it to the next step.

In consideration of the desire that (most) posters have to remain anonymous, I would suggest that any real leads be emailed to a moderator, who can post the information without revealing the source. The moderator could post the pertinent information and then interested parties (including job seekers and their friends looking out for them) would contact the moderator to get contact information (minus the screen name, of course).

I see this as an opportunity to perform tremendous chesed. I don’t know about any open jobs right now and it frustrates me that I can’t help people in this situation. I hope that a united effort can lead to some good. Thank you, everyone.
