Tulsa - So often, we only hear about the numbers associated with the jobless rate and we don't see the faces. But behind every number, there's a real person who lost a job and now struggling to find another one.

Recently, we met with more than a dozen of them, and listened to each of their stories. Our goal is very simple -- help them find a job. They all agreed to sit down with us and answer three basic questions -- what are you looking for, what are your skills, and what sets you apart from the rest.

Like millions of others facing the same situation, they were nervous. They haven't been in the job hunt for years, and now they need help.

Today, we focus on Tom Rosell, who is looking for work in a regional sales position, preferably in aviation/aerospace, but not limited to that industry.
