I came across a new blog from the Wall Street Journal this morning that may be useful for recent grads still in the job search.

Laid Off and Looking follows eight out-of-work professionals as they look for new jobs in a post-meltdown world. Each writes about his or her own personal experiences with all of the ups and downs that go into a job search in a difficult market.

Hat tip for the discovery to another interesting business blog: BizDeansTalk. Both blogs have been added to our blog roll. Enjoy!
