Job Market Still Healthy

According to last Friday’s Wall Street Journal the job market is not totally down the tubes. There are a couple of lights at the end of the tunnel.

According to Sarah Needleman’s article, “Executive Job Market Still Healthy”, industries that will continue to have a high need for experienced talent are life sciences, health care and industrial manufacturing. Furthermore, executive openings lie in marketing and sales, supply-chain, and sustainability positions.

Needleman goes on to state that networking is going to be the best way to find a job.

So if you are finding yourself out of a job now or in the near future, start calling everyone you know, beginning with people you most recently worked with or for. Also, if you’re not on Linkedin yet, now is the time to write your bio and build your network.

Feel free to post your comments here or ask any questions about resumes, interviewing, Linkedin, or online networking.
