Oh great.
My first thought was that I was in that position a year ago and thought about how I went about it. The steps in the book were an immediate guideline:
'1. Peruse the websites of any companies that may interest you. Most companies will post job openings on their sites.
2. Go to a website specifically geared towards finding jobs. You can search for jobs on these sites by career field, location and even potential salary.
3. If you're a student, your school or university may have a careers advice web page with job listings, guidance for writing CVs and advice on being interviewed.
4. Visit an online newspaper and search the classifieds section for job adverts and job opportunities. Many newspapers - national and local - have web pages.
5. Check out search engines, as these also feature classified sections. Browse according to your location and interests.'
With this subject, it would be extremely difficult to make it humorous, or even exciting so I decided to go with the simple instruction guide to inform and help my audience.
I decided to aim it at not just the unemployed, but channel it down to the unemployed that have searched endlessly already for jobs online. My initial idea is to create a step by step job guide online for them to follow - using the 5 steps from the book.

However it is really dull and creating any form of website would just add to the problem, as they would have to find my website first before finding others providing jobs. So, because my audience will generally spend their time at home, I am thinking of taking this problem in the direction of a mailshot or leaflet that will get posted to their house.
This mailshot will either have all the information on it, so the reader can simply keep it next to their computer and keep referring back to it, or it will direct them to a website that will do it all for them.
Time to get these ideas on paper...
