Job Searching and the Broader Economy

It is important for job seekers nowadays to keep up to date on what is happening in the national economy. Prior to the Industrial Revolution in America a person could go to school (or more likely be an apprentice of someone) in their chosen job field. But after the Revolution and continually into the 20th century the American job landscape evolved to where job seekers were needing to be more aware of not just what the local economy is doing for what sorts of jobs are available, but also in the broader economy. For example, generations of individuals and families have worked for the auto industry in Detroit and elsewhere. But now we are hearing about plants closing down and people having to move to more prosperous locations.
We hear the sad stories about families who experience these sorts of transitions every day. But it would behoove the job seeker to be aware of what sorts of industries are flourishing right now and into the future, and not get stuck in the predicament of looking for work that isn’t there. Transitioning from industry to industry can be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Just remember that you performed admirably at your trade for X number of years and you have much to offer any employer. Be aware of what industries are growing, which ones are declining, and what exactly in those industries employers are looking for in their successful employees.
The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies offers Certificate programs that cover the breadth and depth of any industry. Why? Because every company needs administrative help.
