I got an email today from a recruiter and thought I’d pass it along.  What’s unusual about this opening?

If you said “paid relocation” give yourself a Gold Star!

The link is not click-able.

Good Luck!

The Yawning of a New Era | workforce.com

America’s workforce is weary. Employees of all ages report feeling fatigued, stressed, burned out or depressed, brought down by a heavier workload, layoffs and an assortment of other adverse conditions workers feel they have little or no power to control.

The hamsters are starting to fall off their wheels.

All kidding aside, this is a serious management issue.  So what’s a little fatigue.  A plane crash here, a truck crash there right?

All we do is put risk on the books.

So what’s a little higher error ratio?

Calculated Risk: Housing Bust impacting Manager Mobility

One of the strengths of the U.S. labor market has been the flexibility associated with labor mobility at all levels of employment – households could easily move from one region to another for better employment. The sharp decline in house prices, leaving homeowners with significant negative equity, appears to be limiting this flexibility.

Bad times for moving companies

It’s Saturday morning and I’m not sufficiently caffeinated, sitting in my office catching up on the news when I come across this chart.  So I get up and get another cup of Joe, sip and think a little more about just what this chart is telling me.

A lot.

Mind Shift

The hidden trend in the monthly jobs report — and what it means for you | paulacaligiuri.com

There is a big change on the horizon in the way we should conceive of the concept of jobs – and it is dramatically changing how job security will be created in the future. For many, jobs of the future may be more like multiple income generating activities (or gigs) where we leverage our talents and skills. Job security will no longer be derived from being employed 40 hours/week. Rather, it will be something we create for ourselves when our talents and skills are in demand.

This is a mind shift.

The emphasis of the future will be on the skills you bring, rather than the job you occupy. There will be a far greater focus on self-management of both our skills and our network, two critical components of career success. Possessing more sought-out skills and having a strong network will be related to more income opportunities, whether working for a single organization or as an independent contractor.

Perhaps we need to take a collective deep breath and realize that, while change is afoot, this free agent mentality may also come with some upsides:

  • You will now have tremendous flexibility to plan and grow your own career, no longer relinquishing career management to an employer.
  • You will now have the ability to craft your sources of income across multiple opportunities if this is what you chose to do.
  • You will now have the opportunity to engage in a career that fits with your life – and not vice versa.

Thanks Paula.  I could not have said this better myself.
