Hi All!

In these challenging job market times filled with lay-offs and companies closing, people from all generations, are trying to determine "What's next?" for their careers. Economic downturns like these get people seriously considering what other types of jobs they can be doing to make a living. Millions of Boomers, Gen Xers, Generation Jonesers, and even Millennials, are currently trying to answer this question as they search for new employment.

I came across this article written by Alison Doyle today, About.com Guide to Job Searching since 1998. Her advice might be able to help you on your quest to answer "What's next???":

The article starts with:

Sometimes, that's by choice. You hate your job and you want to do something, anything, else. In other cases, your job is gone, your industry is in disarray, and there are no jobs to apply for. What to do next?

Bye for now.
