Job loss greeting cards: Kind or out of place?
Hallmark recently released a new line of six greeting cards that specifically address job loss and the recession. Some are humorous, while others offer some sensitive words of encouragement. The company says customers called-in the need and the cards are selling well. With the unemployment rate currently at 9.1 percent - which translates to 14 million people - there's a good chance you know someone out of work. But should you actually send one of these cards?
Career expert Nicole Williams said on "The Early Show" said a card alone isn't ideal, but supplementing talking with a card is OK.
She said, "By virtue of bringing it out into the open and discussing it, there's less shame attached to it. And the more shame that is attached to it, the less likely you are to go out there and actually find a job quickly."
Psychologist and "Early Show" contributor Dr. Jennifer Hartstein added, "The more you can talk about something, the better off it can be."
