Career change in economic hard time like this

Changing careers is always a challenge. During economic boom times, we can at least find another job if things don't work the way we intended to. But during a prolonged recession, many of us find ourselves without options but changing career. In other words, we have to because there are no jobs available to replace the ones we lost.

When we do have to look for another job, sort out the information that we can gather about the job offers and sit on it. You need to figure out your particular situation including your strengths and weaknesses as a job candidate. Analyze your work history, education, skills, and your age in terms of competition that you may have. Know yourself and know your competitions.
