10 FRIGHTENING REALITIES OF
THE POST RECESSION ECONOMY
1. Doing more with less– Managers hesitant to hire more, but will increase
duties of existing employees.
2. Held back by housing - Unemployed job seekers struggling to pay their
mortgage still have fewer options for their job search.
3. Choose your education carefully - There are no jobs, so why not get
more training and make yourself a better candidate when there are jobs?
4. Age diversity - People are delaying retirement because of the
recession. More older workers are now searching for new careers
5. The Finance Industry - Firms will still be significantly cutting back.
Bank of America, for one, is in the midst of a large job cut, and some
analysts believe that other banks might not be too far behind.
6. A Second “World” Recession? - The World Bank has issued a financial
alert for a the real potential for a 2012 – 2013 4% GDP economic downturn
on a global scale due to the European Debt Crisis

10 FRIGHTENING REALITIES OF
THE POST RECESSION ECONOMY
7. More short term jobs- Americans have to look at jobs
differently, with many accepting temporary and part-time positions
rather than holding out for full-time permanent work.
8. The IT consolidation trend- The major players in the field
have lots of incentives to keep adding to their range of offerings.
One way they're doing that is by snapping up smaller firms.
9. The importance of internships- Because of the shortage of
jobs, landing an internship is going to be more important than
ever.
10. Negotiate a package, not a salary- You should value the entire
package and quantify everything. How you do that is up to you.
Your compensation number should factor in what is essential to you
and what is non-essential.
