3 Million Jobs Available

3 Million Jobs Available There are 13 million people unemployed and employers have 3 million vacancies they cant fillwhats wrong with this picture? Ive found a new favorite blog, Careerealism, by JT ODonnell.   Please go visit.   The advice and information I have seen there so far is wonderful. She is  by no means new at this, just new to me. In her recent post, she cites a great Business Week article, Help Wanted:   Why thats A Bad sign.   It looks at the gaps that exists between the job seekers and the employers.   Careerealisms digest of this article is simpler to read.   She points out: Two things will need to occur: 1) Job seekers are going to need to take lesser-paying jobs as part of a ‘course correction’ for their career paths that will eventually lead to better pay and longer-term employability. 2) Companies are going to need to expand and improve their on-the-job training and succession planning so they can hire talent which are a 50% fit and develop them instead holding out for the 90% fit that will never knock on their door. This isnt something either want to hear. Yet, it is most likely going to happen. So bite the bullet, guys and gals, and start today by making the changes necessary to transition.   Not sure where to start? Self assessment!   Then go off and do your research.   Find careers or occupations or industries that have the potential to excite you. Anything healthcare related or green.   You dont need to be providing direct care, but somewhere supporting it.   Green jobs are emerging, and most likely will continue for awhile.   There is even a website for greenjobs.
