How to Make a Career Change
in a Challenged Economy
With the job market buckling under the weight of the housing credit and
financial crises, job seekers need to be especially savvy in their pursuit.
Pink slips are stacking up for nearly nine percent of the population jolting the
economy staggeringly into reverse. There is little doubt on recession.
So if you are one of those whose job has been eliminated, fear you might be
or just are someone wanting to make a career change at what some might
say is the worst time since the recession of 2001, can you find the right
career and actually land a good position? Or maybe you want to start a
business. Is it the right time in this failing economy? The answer to all of
these questions is a resounding “yes” if your quest capitalizes on the trying
times. The right plan with concrete goals and a sound savings will insure
quicker success.
Certain industries are particularly vulnerable during recessions, including
retail, manufacturing, the financial and investment areas and technology.
Health care, education, energy and security are industries where the
demand for workers is at its greatest right now.
This may be the time to go back to school or get an advanced degree if you
have the interest and the time.
If you are employed, and fear there may be layoffs in your company, it doesn’t
hurt to be prepared. Update your resume. Make sure that you are still
networking with old bosses, coworkers, and business contacts. Don’t wait
until you are laid off to keep your contacts and resume fresh.
In order to stand out in interviews and even within your existing company
there are some important things you can do now.
First: Show that you are innovative in identifying waste, cutting costs and
increasing income.
Second: Be visible and positive. Be noticed in a positive way. This is not
time to fade into the background.
Third: Do much more than is asked. Produce beyond what is expected.
Fourth: Be hungry to learn new things. You want to be known as a go-
getter who gets the job done well.
Take the time now to update your resume, network, learn new things and get
noticed. This will pay off in any economy. Start now!
