Lost your job?
Let's see about getting you the next one. Let's go find us a head hunters. There's a job searching site that can be reached using headhunter.com or headhunter.net. Lately, maybe because the no fun PC police got to them, they have been calling themselves careerbuilder.com.
So what we know about your job and the place that you work is: no. We can't go there again. It's a non starter. It is likely that not only you, but in addition, thousands of people like you, with your special set of skills and devilish smile, just got canned. Going back and applying for work at the same place or even staying in the same field and applying for the same job are activities that are not likely to bear fruit.
So, what can you do. Let's find a recession proof industry. I know. Everyone dies. Eventually. Let's try the death industry! So I put the word "death" in the careerbuilder keyword box, push the search button and 88 pages of jobs should up. That's 2,192 jobs. Impressive (Picture James Earl Jones doing his best Darth Vader voice). So death pays. And since we did not localize our search, it appears that death pays all over the country. The death related industries are as you might expect, life insurance, bereavement counselors and the like.
Well that death thing is doubtless a little to morbid for some of you. Let's put off death for a little while. I know, let's go with a anti death industry. Health! As the baby boomer population ages, the need for health care professionals of all stripes has got to grow. JACKPOT!!! When I put health in the keyword box I get 160 pages of jobs. That's over 86,000 health related jobs. Enough jobs for every one who was laid of a few days ago. I was reading that 63,000 people had been laid off. Looks like the health field is the way to go.
