A COUNSELOR’S BLOG FOR OPTIMAL FUNCTIONING

Brooklyn Bridge

A job search can be isolating, and coming home empty–handed day after day can be difficult to deal with. So find another person looking for a job, for mutual support, or join a job search group in your area (just Google it). If this is not for you, find a job search Blog or two and share your experience with others while reading about others’ trials and tribulations: you are not alone.

It also helps when you see your job search from a different perspective. Think of yourself as a Sales Rep. The product you are selling is you, and you are working on a commission only basis. As with any sales occupation, you have to foster a lot of prospects before you make one ‘sale’. For you that ‘sale’ is getting hired. Many sales professionals sometimes go months before they make a sale that will set them up for the year. They keep up it because they know it will come. Once you make that ‘sale’, you can not only be set up for the rest of the year, but, hopefully, for many years to follow.

We live in very difficult economic times.  As a consequence, we must be more diligent and thorough in searching for the right job or career.  Recently, I met a man who had not had success returning to work in the printing field.  He had plenty of printing press experience, but no one needed him.  It so happens that digital printing has taken a big bite out of the market that used to belong to ‘traditional printing’.  As a consequence, he decided to make a career change.  

The following are the top 20 fastest-growing occupations in the U.S. according to the U.S. Department of Labor.  Also, please find the training required, in most cases, for these occupations.  Is your targeted occupation among them?
