Don't Sit Around

Since my last posting, economic conditions have loosened up a little. Some companies have already added some staff in the first quarter, and several others are in the process or are considering adding workers at some point this year. Having said that, do not wait around. Just because things are loosening up a little, it doesn't mean it is time to relax in your search. There are still 1 out of 10 American workers who are collecting unemployment. Even as things improve there will be less jobs than people, plus there are millions of American workers who are currently employed who have been unhappy with their current positions. Competition will be tough for several years, so follow along with my previous advice. Searching for work is a 40 hour work week. Do not rely on the job boards. Finally, stay positive! Things are improving and a good attitude and professionalism will go a long way. For help with employment it is always beneficial to register with a staffing company.
