In search of insight into the year ahead for job seekers and workers alike, and what you can expect to encounter this year? Well, we have good news for you...
This year is shaping up to be a pretty good year. We;re well aware you’ve been hearing those words rattled off by countless optimistic business leaders since the downturn in 2008, but things really are different this year. Industries are growing again. The past several years have been a struggle for a lot of people, particularly those who have been tirelessly searching for a new job. Many people have had to tighten a few belt loops, pinch a few pennies, and been forced to tolerate a position they’re unhappy in because the thought of looking for a new job is downright frightening.
The good news is, the jobs are finally there. There’s no need to feel like you’re a prisoner to the poor job market any more. While it may be a tad depressing to do so, a quick Google search of “hopeless job market” may surprise you a little. The most recent article you’ll find discussing the hopeless conditions of the economy and the job market is date stamped for 2013. Not a single one dated this year, or all of last year. If this isn’t encouraging to you, we don’t know what is.
There’s real hope for job seekers, and not a fabricated hope to make you feel better about a dire situation; real, legitimate hope. Hearing people say, “things are looking up” should not be addressed with disbelief and the person branded as an optimistic loony. There is real concrete evidence to support this, and this is the topic of our discussion over the course of the week.
Stay tuned for more on this topic in the very near future to discover what’s in store for you if you’re looking to take on a new challenge and a new job.
