Layoffs seem to be everywhere, and my heart goes out to these people.
Here's a possible solution for some- Since many are talking about being more creative during this economic slump, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another regular job in the first place?
I’m rather amazed that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not “conventional” enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy.
Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but I’m convinced that thinking that way is a kind of limitation that keeps many from learning skills that would allow them to carve out there own path to income.
One of them is as close as the computer in front of a job seeker.
For the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves.
While there are many hyped-up websites out there promising the world and delivering little (ask me how I know), there are also some great exceptions, and this one comes highly recommended.
It's also helped me build online income and with over a billion people online a and growing, it's a solution I think more people should consider.
