Are You Leading Your Life
or an Actor In Your Own Drama?
Well, the economy is getting worse. Every night when you turn on the news
the lead story is about how bad the economy was today. Viewers could use
information on how to make things better for themselves or examples of
others who are triumphing during these hard times. But our brains are not
wired to show the same level of interest in warm stories as they do in things
that frighten us. Hence – the news on the failing economy is jarring enough
to draw not only our interest but the dollars of advertisers that keep television
journalism in front of us on a daily basis.
The real question is, what are YOU going to do about how the economy is
affecting your life right now? You know the specifics of the nation’s financial
systems and how they are weighing on your personal situation. You know
the expert predictions of where we are headed. But guilt about not having
pulled money out of the stock market early enough and worry about what will
happen to the fraction of your investments left there are not going to change
where you are right now? Blaming yourself for not switching careers earlier
and lamenting over the fear of not finding the kind of opportunities you would
like is not moving you closer to peace. Are you leading your life? Or are you
an actor in your own drama?
The fact is that job opportunities are declining in just about every sector of
the United States with the exception of healthcare and government. Are
there opportunities in those areas for you? I think there are opportunities in
those areas for just about everyone. If you have worked in marketing,
finance, public relations, information management, sales, research or many
other professions, you have transferable skills that will translate to any
industry – especially healthcare and government. Someone has to keep the
books. Someone has to do the research for university health science
programs. Someone has to court new physicians to partner with hospitals
and sell health insurance to industry and the general public.
The difficult part about these opportunities is finding them. Government jobs
are not listed in the newspaper and often healthcare opportunities get listed
internally or on Internet career sites and are filled before they would reach
the classified ads. Additionally, the general public is not aware of the scope
of healthcare jobs.
Government employees stay in their jobs longer than most other
Americans. There is sufficient room for career advancement, the benefits
are attractive and employees are rarely laid off. To access the list of federal,
state and local government jobs in your area go to www.federaljobsearch.
com.
If you are seeking an opportunity in healthcare, think not only about
hospitals. Doctors’ practices have grown in size to include dozens of
physicians at a time. These practices are businesses with the same needs
as any small business. They are now employing marketing professionals,
full time information systems specialists and finance professionals. As the
baby boomers age, there is an increasing number of independent and
assisted living facilities as well as hospices. The healthcare industry also
encompasses insurance companies for health and long term care
insurance. Search the Internet career sites such as such as Monster.com or
CareerBuilder.com using these categories to find additional opportunities.
If you are unemployed, you might want to contact the human resources
offices of healthcare entities and related service industries to offer your
services on a contract basis. This will save them the cost of another full time
employee and help you earn income during your “meanwhile” time. Be able
to describe measurably what you have accomplished in your field and
suggest ways that you might help them. “I am able to write and design any
external marketing, educational or media materials you might need.” Many
people find that they enjoy the flexibility of freelance work enough that they do
not return to full time employment. Visit Elance.com and Sologig.com for
more freelance opportunities.

keep you from the useless emotions of worry and guilt? Start now!
