Strong job market? Why this HR exec turned bathroom attendant isn’t feeling it

As a human resources executive, Diane Evans used to make more than $200,000 a year. But since she was laid off a year ago, she’s only been able to find work as a bathroom attendant, despite sending out more than 1,000 resumes. CNN’s Vanessa Yurkevich spent the day with Diane as she applied for more positions and got ready for her job at a Brooklyn, NY catering hall.
