Career Planning
A layoff may be an opportunity to stop, catch your breath and figure out what you are doing with your life. Did you even like your previous job? Were you satisfied? Perhaps a career change is in order, but what careers are in demand? Do you have the skills and education necessary?
Your networking groups can assist you in identifying the current high demand skills and careers. However, there are other tools available to assist you in determining whether your skills are in line with market demands. The Department of Labor sponsors a website
www.careerinfonet.org
. You choose the occupational profile of interest and the site will provide you with the nationally accepted knowledge, skills and abilities, education and training and other pertinent information such as wages and employment trends.
