Job Stress

Finding Jobs During Recession

Even the most experienced or skilled of workers are not safe at times like these as everyone finds their position under threat. While some of these will find it comparatively easy to find work in their current field of expertise, many will not be so lucky. During a time like this it may be necessary to switch industries in order to survive. While this may sound daunting, it can lead to huge benefits in the long run.

Are you one of the thousands of job seekers who question their sanity, marketability, and capacity to make smart decisions-just because you’ve lost your job? Are you wondering how to overcome these psychological challenges, rebuild your self-confidence, increase your marketability, and regain your sense of sanity?

Without doubt, job loss through downsizing or redundancy, is a major event for everyone when it happens. Most of us invest so much of ourselves in what we do that job loss can take away our sense of status and belonging, as well as the routine and support that work provides. With our job forming so much of our identity, it leaves us feeling disoriented and lost - but it can also be a first step to positive job or career change.
