PREVIEW:
The purpose of this book is to discuss some of the
real trials and tribulations of a job search, and more importantly explore how
you "really" get a job today in these uncertain times. Use our
experience, ideas, observations, inventories, planning, and information gathered
from many other sources over the years. This information comes from all over the
country from many levels within various organizations. Use this book as a
"tool", a workbook to build the ammunition to win the battle of
getting that job. This is one of the most important battles of your life.
A person used to work for one company or organization
for their entire working career of about forty-five years. This is no
longer true. There is little to no loyalty by companies to the workers, and the
companies should expect to get none back from the employees. An employee who is
will downsized, right sized, reorganize, and fire employees when times get hard
or there are changes in the market, be it national or foreign, to gain a few
profit points. They expect to pick up "new" qualified employees as
they need them in the future with little to no regard for the employee's
economic situation or the employee's family. This is all done in the name of
saving money, re-organization, progress, or whatever the popular
"buzz" word is at the time.
Companies justify this in the eternal drive for more
money in profits for the shareholder not to mention higher and higher bonuses
for the top executives. Organizations feel if they fail to do this, someone else
will. This "Darwin Capitalism" went mad! It feeds on itself to
destruction! Firms feel they either make more money or go out of business. The
world is becoming an even more competitive place. The world is getting smaller
and companies believe that they must not only compete with business from around
the corner but from around the world. Companies are cutting corners everywhere,
and if you are reading and planning to use this book, you may be a
"victim" of this process. This process results in higher prices and
less service. Gas stations used to check your oil, wash your windows, fill your
car up with gas and give you stamps. Nobody does this today and it seems that
service is as "dead" as the dinosaur. Today, the indications are that
companies will cut service anywhere they can to increase or protect their
profits if they believe that they are in jeopardy; be it fact or fictions.
Efficiency is the name of the game today. The more
efficient you are, the more money the "bigger" you get. This usually
comes at the expense of the employee or the customer (or both). The
"Key" question for most people is how do you adjust to the
"new" world of cold reality in which every one is out to get whatever
they can at the expense of others. This may be a bit cynical, but it often seems
true. This is the "real" world we face each day now and into the
future. You must be wary these days. We know of a friend who was happily retired
for nearly ten (10) years. He and his wife thought they had it made! One day one
of his five children's husband was "downsized" and guess who was back
in the job market? Always keep you resume' up-to-date. You never
know what will happen next.
The managers today are mainly interested in
protecting their "fat" paychecks, bonuses and benefits. They do not
care mainly the "new" workers who must learn to do their jobs themselves
or be fired. The managers cannot train them because they do not know the jobs.
They never will know or understand the jobs.
