Finding a Job and Getting a Job Still Challenging Due to the Consumer

Job Search Market Update: Consumer confidence is up, but the consumer is slow on spending their money. This is holding the labor market back from hiring more. Retail sales in May were down for clothing but up in sporting goods, hobby, electronics (I wonder how much was the  I-PAD) and home appliances. Last month also the biggest decline was seen in the Home Improvement stores. This is most likely the result of the home owner stimulus package ending. I am not sure if the stimulus package has helped us at all, giving a false sense of highs followed by reality. The experts at U of Michigan-Reuters tell us that the consumer "feels"the best they have felt since January 2008, even though they are not spending at the rate everyone one like.

This is holding back the private sector market back, which most people feel will be our engine to a true recovery.

Good news also, China exports are up, US manufacturing sector is still basically expanding

Job Search Tips: Look for possible job openings in the area of IT, Green jobs, sporting goods, hobby, electronics, home appliances, garden, landscaping and the service area. These are possible job ideas based on the subtle trends.

Job Search Action Item: Monday, June 14 9am-10am CST, I am hosting a Audio Tele Class, "Powerful Letters That Get Noticed" , click here to register

On a 3X5 card write 5 things you are grateful today for. Re-write your list first thing every morning before you start working on your job search. Re-write the list at night on the back of the card and date it.

Looking for More Job Openings?

Job Search Market Update: I would like to say that things have changed this week to the point that there is suddenly an incredible amount of true permanent job openings, but alas I can not say that. Finding a job is still a challenge and best conquered by those that are tough at heart, persistent and tenacious.

Consumers account for 70% of the American economic activity. If they don't have the money, they will not purchase. In the past the consumer has carried us through the previous recessions.They still are not rising up to help this recession the way everyone would like them to. Our houses are no longer the ATM machines we could count on to artificially increase our non existent purchasing power.

Three things saving the economy from being worse are 1)75% of the infamous stimulus package has been spent (if you personally beneifited PLEASE comment. I have yet to meet anyone that has) 2) we are lucky to have near-zero interest rates and 3) anyone that was able to repalce their old car or appliance has been able to help the economy.

Job Search Tips: While the private sector's hiring has been disappointing due to lack of confidence, there is one bright are of hiring in the private sector, there are job opportunities in IT.

Job Search Action Plan: Register for our free audio Tele Class, this Monday, June 7, 9am-10am CST, Join our mailing list and select RSVP Tele Class June 7.

Expect Job Recovery to Be Gradual U-Shaped

Job Search Market Update: By most accounts the economic experts feel the job market is returning, but slowly. Fed's Kocherlakota says there will not be a V-shaped recovery due to the increases in public debt, restricted bank lending, and the financial situation in Europe.

Most experts agree that this recession is primarily driven by structural unemployment. There are a variety of jobs that most likely will not return. This is due in part to the labor market "correcting" itself for a period of over expansion, a shift toward leaner staffing, and organizations that have created operational efficiency changes. The combination of all of this has resulted in the reduction of costs, increased efficiencies and increased revenues for organizations. Comapanies are relucant to increase expenses by expanding their labor force, unless absolutlely necessary.

The decrease in home equity coupled with the decrease in investment accounts, still have the consumer cautious, though they seem to be slowly coming out of their shells. The companies will continue to slowly add jobs and hire as their confidence also returns.

Job Search Tips: Economists predict 3 industries that they do not expect the jobs to return to pre-recession levels, retail, manufacturing and advertising segments. (Moody Analytics predicts as Americans buy less cars and houses, 1 million jobs in auto, steel, furniture and other manufacturing industries will not return). My tip for this week is avoid spending the bulk of your time looking for a job in these segments.

Job Search Action Item: Register now for this Monday May 17, 2010, 9am-10am Tele Class, "Professional Salary Negotiations Tips". Register through our mailing list opt in box, RSVP May 17, 2010 section. 

Think about other industries that are aligned to your primary industry experience that you should consider contacting during your job search this coming week.

Job Search Mental Health Tip: Attempt a simple DIY project around the house, where you can visibly see the change of something you improved or fixed.

Have a great week! Good Luck!
