bigstockphoto_ben_franklin_portrait_106952The newly published report from the Washington-based non-profit Partnership for Public Service is showing that over the course of next four years, the U.S. federal government is projected to create over 600,000 jobs in a variety of occupational fields.  This is a 50% increase over the previous four years.

If you haven’t considered a government job, you should definitely make it part of your job search.  U.S. government jobs provide relatively secure employment, good benefits and lucrative pay. Some of the positions, like deputy associate director for global operations, pay as much as $155,500 a year.

frustrated-job-searchIt is hard to keep spirits up when finding a job seems nearly impossible! All the news we hear on TV and read on the Web are depressing and discouraging: The unemployment rate by December 2009 was 10.6%… The number of job searchers is an all-time high and job availability is at lowest levels in decades… Current numbers show that for every new job opening there are 6.3 job seekers… These are arguably the toughest times in generations….

Getting a job in this climate is hard but it is still possible! According to the recent report by the United States Department of Labor, nearly 50 million Americans got new jobs in 2009 and so can you!

pink-slip1Unfortunately, by the time most employees learn that they are getting laid off, it is too late to do anything and unprepared employees get hurt the most. Some companies remain on a verge of a disaster for months, or even years. Some come crushing down overnight.

What can you do?  Well, there are often warning signs that something is brewing inside the company. These signs may give you an opportunity to protect your benefits, save some money and start looking for a new job before you get a pink slip.

Here are a few tips:If your company is publicly traded, pay attention to its stock price.  If the stock price consistently keeps dropping, this is not a very good sign. Overall, your company’s stock price, by definition, is one of the best evaluation indicators of how well a company is doing.

soliderToday’s U.S. Military has thousands of jobs for every possible profession and field.  Military jobs are reliable and are becoming lucrative for many young men and women who have troubles finding civilian jobs in this economy.

Perhaps, the biggest common misconception of a military career is that you have to be a combat soldier fighting out in the field. The truth is that military is offering a much wider scope of careers than many people realize, many are out of harm’s way. Nevertheless, without doubt a military career isn’t for everyone; you have to be audacious and venturesome; it also requires self-discipline, intense physical work and time away from your family and friends.

The military distinguishes between enlisted and officer careers. Enlisted personnel make up about 82 percent of the U.S. Armed Forces. They carry out the fundamental operations of the U.S. Military: combat, administration, construction, engineering, healthcare, human services, and other areas. Officers, who make up the remaining 18 percent of the Armed Forces, are the leaders, supervising and managing activities in every occupational specialty.

frustrated-job-searchAny job loss is a very stressful life event, not just for the unemployed individual, but also for their spouse and for the entire family.  If a family member loses their job, it affects the entire family and every family member has to deal with the loss and the emotions that come with it. Job loss brings along worries about getting through the tough times, uncertainty in the future, and sometimes frustration and even fear.

Even though they may not show it, men who lost their job, could actually be more affected emotionally than women.  As old-fashioned as it may sound, many men still consider themselves to be primary providers, and a job loss for a man could lead to a serious depression, anxiety and a major blow to their self-esteem.

strange-job-applicant-job-interviewFor the most of us, a job interview could be a very stressful experience during which it is easy to make mistakes. Here are some simple recommendations to keep in mind during your job interview:

1. Do your homework so that you are familiar with the company’s mission, their products, services, clientele, etc. This will not only show that you’ve done the homework but will also build your confidence and ultimately help you answer questions better.

2. Don’t ever be late for a job interview. Late arrival to a job interview is never excusable. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier to make sure you are not late.

3. Do be friendly by giving a firm but not a bone-crushing handshake, making eye contact, smiling and speaking up. Address the receptionist (and everyone you encounter) with courtesy and respect. This is where you make your first impression.

4. Don’t  ask questions about salary or benefits. These questions are really only appropriate if you have been offered the position or the interviewer expresses serious interest in hiring you.
