Job Seekers Services Overview

Managing your career in a difficult economic climate

We are in the midst of the most challenging job market that many of us have ever experienced. Results of a May 2009 Executive Mobility survey showed an increase in competition for executive level roles, as 56% of respondents reported feeling more competition for senior level positions now than 5 years ago. The same survey suggests a shift toward shorter tenure, as 57% expect to work for 4-7 organizations by the end of their career.

There is never a recession, however, when it comes to leadership, and you can be proactive. Now is the time to ask yourself some of these questions:

1. What is your strategy to protect your standard of living?
2. What can you do to position youself for opportunities as the job market stabilizes and improves?
3. How can you continue to find ways to be professionally challenged and intellectually stimulated?
4. Are you aware there is growing interest in executive interim management?
