While most experts are hyping the depressed real estate market across the United States, there are a few optimistic real estate professionals who look at this time as an exciting chance to get back to basics and cull the competition as the less dedicated real estate agents flock to other careers. Author of “The WAHM Agent“, Tina McAllister, claims that moms who have ever considered entering the real estate industry should do so now. “There is no better time,” Ms. McAllister states. “Instead of the real estate frenzy of a couple years ago where everyone and their uncle became licensed and had clients fall into their laps, this current market is the perfect time to learn the real estate market from the ground up.”

A sudden job loss can be very unsettling, and it makes a person look inside in order to get perspective on their situation.
I was a person that was laid off too a few years back, so I know what it is like to not have a job to go to.
I feel fortunate, though, that I was building my coaching practice while working full time. Because of that, I was able to transition into coaching full time. But still, not seeing the same faces everyday, having deadlines, and an office to go to, took some getting used to.
The best thing about that experience is I had the opportunity to create whatever I wanted with my future. I could coach full-time. I could go into consulting. I could freelance. Whichever way I chose, I knew that it was the start of a new adventure.

With recent shortages in employment and with unemployment agencies in most States reportedly running out of funds, American workers are taking charge of their own careers and what they are doing to survive today’s economy may surprise you. Below are five things you can do to backup your current employment, and if you are currently unemployed you may still benefit from the information here.
1) Be prepared to engage in a major job search
Career experts have always advised that if you feel threatened by job-loss you should up-date your resume, make sure that you have all your current skills and experience listed and then start your search. Recruiters are better able to place candidates that are still employed, since employment is one of the elements that make an individual what recruiters call a “Most Placeable Candidate” or an MPC.
Here are some tips:

Salary negotiations, already an awkward situation for many, have become increasingly uncomfortable in light of the declining job market and troubled economy. With so many companies downsizing their staff and the unemployed scrambling to find jobs, many candidates mistakenly believe that negotiating an offer is out of the question.
This misconception and job seekers’ unwillingness to negotiate can end up costing them even after the economy recovers, according to Dick Gaither, co-author of the recently released book, Next-Day Job Interview, Second Edition.

In one of the most difficult economic environments on record, American workers are struggling to achieve career success with half their brain tied behind their backs. That’s the provocative claim by Peter Weddle, the author of an innovative, new business fable entitled Recognizing Richard Rabbit.
“It’s astonishing just how effective American workers have been given that most are not using all of the talent with which they’ve been endowed,” said Weddle. “If they’re creative, they rely on the right hemisphere of their brain and ignore the left. If they’re analytical, they turn to the left hemisphere of their brain and forget about the right. It’s a natural propensity, but one with especially serious implications today.”
“In effect, America’s working men and women are confronting the most challenging workplace and the most difficult job market in several generations,” he added, “and doing so with just half of the insight and wisdom they possess.”
