op-por-tun-em-ploy-ment n: 1. where unemployment meets opportunity 2. the state of being unemployed at the perfect time

What is Opportunemployment? It’s looking at your unemployment in a new and positive way. It’s making the most out of the time by bettering yourself and your career prospects.

With the economy taking a nose dive and the unemployment rate skyrocketing, getting a job is a lot more difficult and is taking much longer.  You can sleep in until noon and watch TV all day while gaining the Unemployment 15 (or, 20 or 30), or you can take this opportunity to get creative and grow in your career, as a person or completely change your career path.

Opportunemployment.com was created to help people make the most of their unemployment one tweet, blog and article at a time.
