Lastly, a positive attitude, flexibility and patience do work.
“Individuals must be willing to stay active and positive with their search, continuing to prepare for the opportunity which may come with the next telephone call,” said Ramsey.
Sean Panizzi, a branch manager at Team Temps in Valdosta, said that many new companies recently opened in the Valdosta area and started hiring.
According to www.grahamholland.com, as the economy changes it creates new and emerging businesses and technologies.
“In the last 10 years, and even at a faster rate now, small businesses have generated millions of new jobs,” the Web site states. “Too often job seekers overlook this fact when attempting to find new opportunities.”
Walberg said that “as companies downsize and trim payroll they also hire new people who can be productive right now and help them reach their goals.”
The Web site also says that the economy will continue to change and affect people and no one can be absolutely safe. Therefore, people need to be prepared and expect such changes.
“In the future, these changes will come faster not slower and re-careering is going to be commonplace,” it says.
