A Message to the Unemployed!

Greetings!
The economy is not the problem for you. The answer lies in your ability to take lemons and make lemonade! I know that it is very tough right now to find a job. This recession affected us greatly. However, I believe their is a light at the end of the tunnel for each unemployed worker in this economy. You must stay strong. Don't give up. Be steadfast in your search to find employment. We are in a recovery period but big business is not hiring. The government does not create jobs, the private sector does. So, what does that mean for you? Beat big business at their own game. Change your mindset. Don't look for jobs in your old field. In order to change your circumstance, you have to change your thinking. Here are some tips to becoming a viable candidate in the job market again:
1. If you don't have education beyond high school, now is the time to go back to school. Get a trade or attend college. This is the first step.
2. Embrace the new technologies of today. If you were an automobile factory worker, think about going another route.
3. Research the top fields for today. They are Health Care, Education and Green Techonlogies.
4. Focus on revising your resume so that it highlights what you do well. But, also what you plan to dive into with your new mindset and training.

This is just a start. I know that it is rough out there but if you stay Positive, Passionate, Professional and Productive, no one can stop you.

Best of Luck!
