The ever increasing fuel prices and the weakening economy, adds up to the daily struggle of a young professional or a blue collar worker. The world is simply changing and careers start to fall. Many left unemployed and nowhere to go. Others tend to make ends meet by working sideline jobs just to be able to survive the harsh reality of day to day living. This is the time when we think, what job can we get into that does not falter or at least is not affected with the rise and fall of the economy. Believe me, there are jobs which are high paying and are recession-proof, if I may say. Accounting is one. Accountants are in demand due to the fact that companies hire them to keep track and maintain the financial health of the entire workforce. As long as there’s business, there will be demand for accountants.

College seniors and future graduates of 2009 are facing a dim reality. They may encounter big problems in landing a job by the time they graduate. This is so because employers are cutting down on the work force and trimming their hiring prospects in connection with the sour economy and financial chaos. Employers are planning to hire just a mere 1.3% more graduates this coming year than they did this year. It turns out to be the weakest out look in the last six years and clearly shows a sharp downturn. The big cut down on hiring prospects is already expected but highly unusual. In this light, the pattern of decreasing job prospects continues on for college graduates.

Lack of confidence: Do what you have to do first and don’t depend on that feeling of confidence. It will come as time goes by.

Self fulfilling prophecy: Thinking that ‘I don’t have the right experience, contacts, etc.’ Thoughts affect actions and actions affect reality. Stop focusing on past and act on the present. Focus on solutions and not limitations.

Elephant in the room: Experiencing getting stuck on a problem. Three options: accept, spin or upgrade. Either accept your experiences and change your attitude, spin or reframe your experience to make it neutral or positive, or upgrade and do something about it.

Comfort zone: The longer you get used to your current job, the harder for you to get out. Why? You will be dependent on the safety of your routines, you will get better at what you do and be proud of it and you will make fewer contacts from outside your job. To stay clear of this, think about working in the same job 10 yrs in the future and how it will affect you by then.

Lack of focus: Know what form and function of your ‘must have’ job. Function is what you want to do and form is how you do it. Example – Function: help others achieve. Form: teacher, coach.

More excuses, eh? Well then, let’s hear them! When you took a break from work because of the following, have your words ready.

Just married – How sweet. Tell the employer what kept you from going to work and what you did that is useful in getting the job. Don’t tell too much though, he probably wouldn’t want to hear details from your honeymoon.

Personal problems – Another something you shouldn’t give too much details. Just tell that you’ve solved them and tell how happy you are to work again

Travel – .Seen it all? Show it off! Employers find multi-lingual, well-learned and culturally aware fellows to be assets to the company.
