With many positive sign from US companies and from abroad it is abundantly clear that we are at the beginning of an economic recovery. Though the recession may have ended- officially- this is likely to be jobless recovery. In a jobless recovery profit increases but companies are conservative and don't hire back those employees which were cut during the recession.

With many positive sign from US companies and from abroad it is abundantly clear that we are at the beginning of an economic recovery. Though the recession may have ended- officially- this is likely to be jobless recovery. In a jobless recovery profit increases but companies are conservative and don't hire back those employees which were cut during the recession. Productivity has increased and technology has allowed also for fewer workers.

Executives have no options because mostly all job categories have been hit in this recession. If you are one of those executive or manager who has lost their jobs or even if you are still hanging by your fingernails - then there are some things worth considering as you contemplate your next career move during a jobless recovery.

Stop being stubborn. Because you may not be able to get a job at the companies that meet your career goals and it may be time to start expanding your job search. Look into similar industries, different locations and even the idea of switching career is a better option.

On the other hand, prioritize your preferences and act accordingly for the likely companies, and stay on their radar. Things always change, jobs open - be in a better position to get the job. Relocation could be one of the options. For years, job seekers have been privileged enough to find jobs in their own backyard, but that idea has to be changed. Looking elsewhere for jobs that meet your career skill and goals is a better option. At worst you can come back home when the employment situations improves. At best, you may enjoy your new job enough to stay.

It is better if you want to start looking for jobs in healthcare, education, government and the environment. Because it is expected to see growth in these sectors in coming years due to a number of factors (i.e. healthcare reform, a push for new green jobs, turnover in government and the creation of new jobs in the industry, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will pump money into education.)

Go back to school. This is not for everyone. Do not just decide that you want to be a lawyer and then go back to school to pursue this goal without doing the research, but if you ever want to change your career, or go to college or grad school, now may be the best time to do it.

Don't shy from volunteer work, internships and part time and temp work. Because taking these route will keep you busy during a recession, but it will also help job seekers add skills to their resumes, make contacts in the industry, and offer opportunities for full-time work should openings become available.

We are experiencing a jobless recovery now, but it does not mean that there are no jobs out there. Taping into your network and making the effort to get on front of the right people. The right referral could lead to a job.
