As the slump / recession / depression / adjustment period plods along, many of you are still finding your job search is plodding along too. The might be approaching to get extremely creative in finding some short-term solutions. Keep in mind what I have said before, nothing is forever so do not panic that a job you take now just to bring in some income will prevent you from getting back into gear a bit further down the road. Remember this, you are not alone and I suspect many others will be re-entering their old stomping grounds at a later date.
Summer is coming and that means camps are beginning to hire professional staff. Are you an unemployed programmer? How about applying to be the technology instructor for the summer? Are you an out-of-work graphic designer? Perhaps there is a slot for an art instructor! Many retailers are cutting their staffs but that does not mean your sales skills need to be put on the shelf. Check out minor league baseball parks. Most hire seasonal account executives, souvenir store managers, and concession supervisors.
Do you get the point I am attempting to make? Finding a job even loosely connected to your skill sets is better than sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself. Who knows? Someone might discover you and hold the door open to a brand new career!
