Letters.Fruitless Search Usually, I cringe when reading all the hackneyed tips the "experts" give on job hunting, but Mark Lacter's article on the plight of the unemployed ("Out of Work -- And Scared," Comment, June 2) hit the bull's-eye. Experts advise that one should spend 40 hours a week on a job search, a feat I too find a physical impossibility. Experts insist on networking.
