Bartering is Now a Big Part of Business
Small businesses, squeezed for cash and unable to get loans, are turning to an ancient payment system: barter. Daniel Blank, creative director at Bureau Blank Inc., a New York graphic-design and brand-identity company, first used bartering when he started the company in 2004, because it was hard to get capital for a start-up.

How Do You Network When
Your Network's All Laid Off?
Everyone says the key to finding a new job is networking. But how do you do that when so many of your contacts are also out of work? First, you need to expand your circle of contacts. But even before that, develop a career plan that maps out what you'd like to do professionally two, five, 10 and even 20 years down the road. Once you've got that, you'll have a better idea of what types of jobs to seek and ultimately how to describe them to your network.
