Job Hunting? Look Differently.

Cecile Marie, a New Jersey-based personal career coach and trainer suggests an economic slow down means you may have to be flexible. If you can't find a job that matches your skills, Marie suggests you look at related jobs and take one of them. Taking a job that's a bit outside your area of expertise means you'll expand your skill set. When the market picks up again, you'll be that much more attractive to employers.

Sales help needed. Inquire within. One area that might afford opportunity is sales, in any capacity. In economic slow downs, companies scale back on support staff and beef up their sales force. "If a person gets a job selling, even for a little while, he or she is going to be a better employee in other areas and other ways.

There has never been a job, that I am aware of, where sales experience hurt a candidate," says Marie. And of course, that goes hand in hand with selling yourself. If you can sell a product, you certainly should be able to sell yourself. "If you believe in yourself, then you should be able to sell yourself," says Marie.
