Wall Street mess changes job-search game?

Adios, third quarter! I can only hope that our country’s economic (not to mention political) situation improves in the fourth quarter.

The current financial mess has many of us anxious about job prospects.  Unemployment is on the rise, and layoff reports are increasingly in the news

In a new article, career expert Joe Turner writes that people seeking jobs must change their approach. He believes job seekers must market themselves as problem-solvers and profitable “brands” that will boost the employer’s bottom line.

Turner’s article is definitely worth a read; it may help you enhance your strategy. I wouldn’t call the current meltdown a “game changer,” however. Job-search fundamentals still apply and still work.  I would also recommend reading “Job-Hunting in an Unsteady Economy” and “12 Tips for a Lengthy Job Search.”
