For many in their journey to the next opportunity it can seem fruitless (in our search) if we read the papers or listen to the news. Not that they don't dispense the news with accuracy. Yes unemployment statistics are up and companies are laying people off.
Having been through these cycles many times now keep in mind that there are many positions unfilled. Those are the ones printed. Yet still about 85% of the job market is hidden. Your job now is to read, research, investigate, listen and determine what companies need. In time you will locate companies that have pain and you can assist them to relieve it.
Another fact is everyday there are positions needed that haven't been positions before. We didn't used to have environmental engineers once, nor did we have green energy. The list can go on and on. That's another great reason to network, so you can learn more about the new opportunities.
Once again I read that we are actually approaching a time when we won't have nearly enough people to fulfill the needs of employers. The article was talking about remembering the value of the older worker.
Your positive attitude can help you to weather the storm, keep a smile on your face and make life less stressful.
