So, the Mayan doomsayers were incorrect, and we are still here going about our lives. For many people, the forecast for 2013 appears to be the same as 2012 and the years before: the frustration and demoralization of being in a job search that does not have a light at the end of the tunnel. But, perhaps this is a time for rebirth and hope after all.

Do you believe that 2013 will be a continuation of what previous years have presented, or that 2013 will be the year of the job search turning point? Either way, join us at #HFchat on Friday, December 21 at Noon EST to participate with guest host Ron Marshall (@ron_marshall) in a lively conversation and to share your POV on job search in 2013.

Proposed questions:

• Q1: What industries are likely to be great for job seekers in 2013?
• Q2: If you knew your next job would be your last, what would it be?
• Q3: What would entice you to relocate for a new job?
• Q4: How do you practice constant self-improvement to improve your value as a job candidate?
• Q5: What is the single most valuable resource to job seekers?
• Q6: Have you considered making your own job via entrepreneurship?
