Job search got you down? Consider career alternatives.

If you are on the “bench”, on the “list”, or on the “chopping block”, then you may already be feeling the stressful effects of looking for work.   For many, the average time it takes to find the job you want these days is anywhere from 1-16 months.   That’s a long time if you haven’t planned for it.  

If you’re the person:

 ..who is tired of the endless job applications followed by impersonal rejection letters (or worst, no response at all);

 .. the person who has lost hope in finding anything with dignity and growth potential; 

.. the person who gave their life and health to work in construction or other specialized industries and now encounter new career challenges; 

.. the returning veteran who is struggling to compete for work;

..the college student or recent graduate in the service industry trying to make ends meet;  

..the mature professional bored with retirement;  or

 ..the person who just wants to bring in a little extra money to cover the basics

…then it is you that I am speaking to. 

Owning a small sideline business can be very empowering and rewarding.  I can’t help but appreciate how many businesses involving dog waste management, domestic engineering, and care giving have cropped up in the past five years.   Everyone has something to offer someone!   

Whether you’re in job search or not, consider a sideline business putting the skills you have to good use (office work, landscaping, project management, organization, scrapbooking, cleaning etc.).   Keep active and network.  With all the online tools, free training, and community meet-ups…your chances and opportunities for generating income are better than ever.
