Gas Prices, Economy and Jobs
Sorry for the delay in blogging...been busy moving from AZ to CO. We are set up in our new office here and LOVIN IT! AZ is soooooo hot for soooooo long it gets old. We gave up our shorts and shades for sweatshirts and skis.
What is going on with the economy this year? WOW what a wild ride we are on. There is so much doom and gloom I am starting to believe it all. Well, not really. Yes I do believe we are experiencing a "correction" based upon too much optimism over the past 5+ years. The optimism in housing, stocks and our constant use of debt is starting to catch up with many of us.
Remember one simple concept and you will make it to the other side. The concept is based upon a verse I quote from the bible. In summary it says: "This too will pass." It is NOT the end of the world. It may be difficult to get through but you and I will. We will and learn something new about ourselves through the process. The ride will be bumpy but if we don't get caught up in the "sky is falling" mentality we can and will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now that I have used every cliche I could muster, what do we do with the job search? Just keep going. If you are out of work, think about how to get a new job in an industry that is going up. If you are working and unsure of if/when you might loose your job, you do the same: think about how you can search for a job in an industry that is improving.
You may be saying which industries are improving...if so here are a few: Technology (some areas are BOOMING!), Nursing, Elder Care, Sales (when times are tough, sales people are last to go), Education, IT Engineering and Programming, Entertainment (Music and Video) and Online Marketing (SEO, Blogging, Content Providers, and Promotions of all sorts). These are just a few examples.
Think strategically about your next job. Don't be a Lemming!
Let's Get Started!
