Rising unemployment and opportunities on the job market

Rising unemployment and opportunities on the job market

As the aftermath of global financial crisis continues, the job market has taken another hit rising unemployment in nearly all sectors. IT, sales and retail have taken a large blow, constantly reducing the workforce while British government has announced massive job cuts among civil servants, further saturating the ranks of unemployed. To make things even worse, the vast majority of small business owners surveyed, claims that civil servants made redundant typically do not possess good enough professional skills to be considered for employment without further training.

There has been a large number of discussions regarding this opinion, where it's opponents express concern that dismissing potentially valuable personnel solely on the basis of previous employment will work largely against small business owners themselves. For the time being, however, redundancies are getting closer and the securing a job seems even more crucial then ever.

Expanding industries. While undeniably the job market shrinks in certain areas, there some sectors which still flourish even after the credit crunch. Since the job hunting is all about matching your existing skills and learning potential to employer's job requirements and expectations, it's important to learn about the thriving industries and, if you're a job seeker, how to use the situation to your advantage.

It is also worth to make a definitive list of transferable skills which can prove very valuable during your next job application - you'd be surprised how many doors are opened with well written, conscious CV and covering letter explaining your motives for career move you're just about to make.

Unexpected career? Job search in the current economy requires a lot more thinking and planning in order to be effective. Whether it's a full time job that you're after, or you just want to find weekend employment, have your eves opened and take your time doing proper research.

One sector definitely worth mentioning is industrial. Somehow contrary to the popular trends instead of imploding, it expands creating more job opportunities and tempting the more daring souls to embrace massive warehouses as the workplace of choice. Depending on the role, entry requirements range from none - for entry level physical labour, to high level management experience combined with strong logistic and transport skills as warehosue careers differ significantly.

Whatever your choice will be, please keep in mind that promising markets full of vacancies are best approached as early as possible - because once they become commonly known, prospective applicants begin to swarm and competition starts changing the working conditions, lowering entry wages and reducing job benefits.
