It is obvious that we are at the beginning of an economic recovery, with many positive signs from US companies and from abroad. While the recession may have ended officially this is likely to be a jobless recovery. In a jobless recovery profit always increases but companies are very much conservative and don't hire back jobs that were cut down during the recession. Technology has allowed also for fewer workers because productivity increased. Almost all job categories have been hit in this recession and executives are no exception. If you are one of those manager or executive who has lost their job- or even if you are still hanging by your fingernails - there are some things worth considering as you conservative your next career move during a jobless recovery: Stop being stubborn. It is good time to start increasing your search if you may not be able to get a job at companies that meet your career goals. Looking into similar industries, different locations and even the idea of switching career is a good option. On the other side target those companies which you like, and want to stay on their radar. Because things changes, jobs open- be in a better position to get the job. Relocation may have to be a better option. For last many years, job seekers have been lucky enough to find jobs in their own hometown, but this idea has to change. It is good if you look elsewhere for jobs that meet your skill set and career goals. At worst, you can come back home when the situation improves. At best, you may enjoy your new job enough to stay. It is good if you start looking for jobs in these sectors i.e. in healthcare, education, government and the environment. Because it is expected to see growth in these industries in coming years due to a number of factor (i.e. healthcare reform, a push for new green jobs, turnover in government and the creation of new jobs in the industry, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will pump money into education.) Going back to home is a good option but this not for everyone. Do not just decide that what you want to become just go straight to school without doing any research. but if you have always wanted to change careers, or go to college or grad school, now may be the best time to do it. Never shy away from volunteer work, internships and part-time and temp work. Because these route will keep you busy during a recession, but it will also help job seekers add skills to their resumes, make contacts in the industry and offer opportunities for full-time work should openings become available. Just because we are experiencing a job less recovery, but it does not mean that there are no jobs in the market. It is good if you tap your network and keep making the effort to get in front of the right people. The right referral could lead to a job.
