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.

Today, we focus on Ella Alexander, who is looking for work in staffing, recruiting or management.
