There IS Hope in the Job Market

There IS Hope in the Job MarketThere IS Hope in the Job MarketBig Hope in the Job MarketMy big hopes are that this economic recession is a shock to ur system that forces us to re-evaluate how business is done in the U.S. and what are accepted business ethics. Also, Id love it if we really look toward the opportunities in new industries that will provide long-term growth and benefit to our country, environment, and world. In doing so, its critical to encourage and support entrepreneurialism, creative thinking, and problem solving. These are some of my big hopes.Interim Hope in the Job MarketMy interim hope is that we as a country can support each other and try to stay optimistic and find opportunities under whatever rock they may be hiding. Because they ARE there in many cases. I say this with some level of knowledge, because of my experiences as CEO of . Back in 2007, we had set out to create a site for legitimate telecommuting, freelance, and work-from-home opportunities, and at the time, our core audience was focused on the work-from-home mom/dad looking for more flexibility. But given the economy, our job seeker audience has drastically widened- to folks looking for a second job because of pay cuts or part-time while they continue to look for full-time jobs, retirees who have seen their savings disappear, or people simply considering telecommuting and freelance jobs for the first time because they never had a reason to before.Every day our staff researches and scours for good, legitimate job opportunities that involve some level of telecommuting. And the great, inspiring fact is that were finding LOTS. Our database of jobs has grown by 30% since SeptemberSo, as dismal as the job market looks, there is still hope in the job market
