Bleak news and dire predictions about layoffs and unemployment notwithstanding, jobs are still to be found in today's economy - even for older workers. Here's how to secure a job during times of recession…
  • Revisit your alma mater: Use the resources provided at your campus’s career center and on your school’s job-board website. Reconnect with classmates, professors, and internship supervisors.
  • Investigate your dream job: Ask yourself, “Is this an opportunity to do something I've always dreamed of?” Have you always wanted to start your own business? Return to school? Move to where you’ve always wanted to live?
  • Explore your own Rolodex: Dialogue with contacts to re-build your job-finding network.
  • Become an expert sleuth: Example - If you see an ad for an insurance executive, compare it with employment listings on insurance companies' own sites.
  • Engage your entrepreneurial spirit: Research new markets and emerging specialty niches to spur novel ideas for becoming self-employed
  • Become web-savvy: Don't depend on mass-market Internet job boards; use DirectEmployers.com and LinkedIn. More than two-thirds of Fortune 100 companies, as well as thousands of small to medium sized businesses, use LinkedIn to recruit employees.
