The current recession has forced many people to rethink their career goals. Unfortunately some people have put their careers on hold while thinking that they will pick it up again in a year or two when things get better…this is probably not a good idea!

Yes, due to the recession there is a lack of hiring and it is harder to find your dream job; but don’t give up!! Things will improve—and when this happens, if you have the right skills then you may be “sitting pretty”.

So here is the BIG TIP OF THE DAY – read Daniel Pink’s book “A whole New Mind” or go to http://www.danpink.com/wnm.html. Pink outlines the kind of thinking you will need to succeed in the job market in the 21 century—which is very different from 20th century mindset!
