Yesterday on the news it was reported that the recession could officially be over by the end of this month. If that's the case, then that means we're nearing the end of this fiasco. Which means things should be noticeably different. BUT THEY'RE NOT!
Gas prices are steady rising, I'm still paying a fortune at the grocery store for cereal & bread, and hello: WHERE ARE THE JOBS?!
I guess there have been slight changes in the market. But as usually, what goes on on Wall Street impacts Main Street a bit differently.
I'm sure most industries are seeing declines in employment, but being that Communications is my life, obviously those declines are what's sticking out to me most. Across the board (radio, print, TV) jobs are scarce. Now's the time to think outside the box!
Consider industries not so obvious for needing Communications positions. The truth is, every organization uses internal & external Communications. There just may be a place for you there!
Also, learn all you can about technology - particularly social media. Many organizations are jumping on the social media bandwagon. You may be discovered through writing a blog or dialoguing with a company through Facebook, Twitter or even YouTube.
In these tough times, you gotta get creative & stay on top of the latest Communications trends.
