		<description><![CDATA[When I lost my job on October 12th, I knew that the PHP community was an invaluable resource for finding a new one. What I didn&#8217;t expect, though, was the outpouring of support and assistance I would receive from that community. I learned a lot of lessons from the job search, and thankfully, largely due [...]]]></description>
