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

ON TARGET 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 theyre 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.
