Job Guide 2008 – Enduring and Prospering During a Recession

U.S. News & World Report, 3/24/2008, Vol. 144 Issue 9, p45-49 CAREER GUIDE 2008

Chances are that you’ve heard a lot about the strong possibility of recession and how this year’s job market is one of the weakest in recent years. This article from U.S News and World Report shows new graduates and jobholders how they can cope during difficult economic times and better the chances of getting or keeping a job. The article addresses issues such as:

  • How to network in the Web 2.0 world.

  • Which job markets are currently the strongest and the weakest.

  • Insuring that you’re not the next worker to be laid off.

  • How to address issues such as career boredom, getting a promotion, and an annoying boss using examples from NBC’s The Office.

Most importantly, the article helps you to stay calm during turbulent times.
