Job Center Tip: Avoid the 10 Losers!
In our job center, we encourage a reality check before you head
into the job market.
Realistically knowing what your job search options are is half
the battle. If you can gravitate toward a career and job where
you know in advance there are growing opportunities you're way
ahead of the game.
By the same token, guiding yourself away from job situations
that are declining and avoiding employment areas where there is
negative growth can give you much more confidence in your career
choices.
Here are the top 10 jobs with the largest projected losses
(according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics):
1. Farmers and ranchers.
2. Order clerks.
3. Tellers.
4. Insurance-claim and -policy processing clerks.
5. Word processors and typists.
6. Sewing machine operators.
7. Dishwashers.
8. Switchboard operators, including answering services.
9. Loan interviewers and clerks.
10. Computer operators.
If you're a recent high school or college grad, or you're
breaking into the job market for the first time as an
entry-level worker, these are the first areas you ought to
avoid. If you're recently retired and wish to get back into the
workplace, these opportunities are less promising for you.
Regardless of your current situation, if you're planning to go
into the job market this year and you haven't been there
recently, things have changed! Especially since 9/11 and Katrina.
The old-fashioned, traditional methods are out. Using them can
extend your job search from weeks to months. These days the most
effective methods are the new 21st Century alternative and
non-traditional techniques.
The good news is there's a fabulous job search system available
to you that can have you entertaining job offers in as little as
two weeks. This is the year to turn your job search into the
career adventure of a lifetime with stunning new alternative
strategies!
