Changing Times in The Workplace

My girlfriends and I were just talking last night about the economy, and the job market. We have all been going through some rough times in our own lives. One of my good friends just found out they are not going to have a job after the new year or so.

Then there is all the shake ups at these big corporations like Ford, GM, the big banks. We were all talking about how one of the few things that can help you maintain your job or get a new one faster is through education. We like to recommend books and research sites to each other.

My one friend is in upper management and on track to be VP. They recommended I read books by Dennis Carey. This guy has done recruitment for major companies like Tyco, 3M and the like. He must know a thing or two about how to handle yourself in management. So if that is your field of work, or where you aspire to be one day check him out. Education is the best defense to being outsourced, so learn all you can while you can!
