Certainty is Rare: How to Prepare Beyond Job Outlook
When considering careers or preparing for a career change, we oftentimes want to be as certain as possible we're pursuing a field that'll offer strong opportunities for employment as well as opportunities for growth and promotion into new positions with greater pay. Even when we do our research and choose a career with strong indicators of continuous growth, however, this still doesn't mean that our success is guaranteed.
In today's episode we review a couple of examples in which industries traditionally known for their security have actually had to lay employees off due to unforeseen circumstances caused by the economy. Then, we discuss a planning strategy beyond just considering job outlook that will help protect your career pursuits in the years to come.
