How to find a job. Smart Work | CAREER
Lost your job? Now what? Is Self Employment Right for You?
In today's economy it is absolutely a waste of time - a shameful waste of money - to look for another job like the job(s) you lost or left.
As Thomas Wolfe wrote, You Can't Go Home Again.
Today, we are facing a dramatic shift in our economy. Money is tight. Consumers (you and me) are not spending money like we were. Heck! we don't have any to spend. Credit is tight. Competition for the money that IS available has therefore gotten tougher. Businesses are looking to just survive. Owners are looking for people who can make a contribution to their bottom line right now, today, tonight.
Odds are, even if current positive economic signals "stick", we will never return to the way it was just a few years ago.
The people who get that fact, will be far ahead of the masses when this "reality" finally sets in.
You will need a bold new approach to find your next career and .... don't expect it to be like your life up until now.
Sure, you will use all of your skills and knowledge that you have acquired, but you will need to apply all of it in new ways under new circumstances and, most likely, with different types of people in different places.
