6 Top Tips for Finding Recession-Proof Jobs
Recession can be a very stubborn thing. Once it drops by, it can take a while for it to fade away and disappear. However, that doesn't mean that we should simply sit back and let it overcome us. It can, after all, wreck havoc on our finances and personal lives. In these tough times, finding a job already seems improbable – just imagine being in the market for jobs that are not affected by recession. But take heart. There's still hope yet. Here are top 6 tips for finding recession-proof jobs:Look for jobs in secure industries.If you've read the news by now, trying to get a job in an auto plant is like trying to get on an elevator that's going down – and you're trying to go up. The same is true if you're trying to get a leg in real estate.Instead of wasting your time trying to join an industry that's experiencing some bad times, try to set your sights on industries that have remained stable or are experiencing growths. These include:- Health care (nursing, caregiving, special care, medicine, physical therapy and other support manpower)- Law enforcement- Information Technology (network administration, software design and development)- Support Services (customer service, administrative assistance)- Sales and business development (product management, retail and wholesale)- Engineering- Education (teaching, school administration and other related support services)
Boost your resume.If an employer sees nothing promising or exciting in your resume, they won't think twice about throwing your piece in the trash bin. Before you try to hook a recession-proof job, consider revamping your resume right now. Take a copy of your latest and review it. If your resume is several months old, there's a high likelihood that it needs a makeover.
