GONE TIL NOVEMBER...GONE TIL NOVEMBER...
In the poetic words of Wyclef Jean...it appears as if I have been GONE TIL NOVEMBER...especially when it comes to updating the blog!
So...just to recap since I last checked in...THE NEW YORK YANKEES HAVE WON THEIR 27th WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, THE NY FOOTBALL GIANTS AFTER WINNING THEIR FIRST 5 GAMES...HAVE HAD A COMPLETE COLLAPSE...THANKSGIVING HAS COME & GONE...
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY; IN THE PAST 6 WEEKS - THERE HAVE BEEN DEFINITE "SIGNS OF LIFE" IN THE JOB MARKET!
I am happy to report that I am now working on multiple searches ---instead of CALLING, EMAILING, NETWORKING...and everything short of BEGGING for job openings to work on!
Traditionally; the job market lags behing the general economy in recovery by about 3-6 months. In NYC specifically...the recovery happens GEOGRAPHICALLY. This is evident in the increase in hiring seen by my peers working in the FINANCIAL SERVICES/BANKING/IT sectors. So...it has begun DOWNTOWN...and over the next few months; we will see activity increase in industries TRADITIONALLY located NORTH OF WALL STREET. If this formula stands true - we should see REAL change by the end of first quarter in MIDTOWN...meaning ADVERTISING, MEDIA, ENTERTAINMENT, INTERACTIVE, PUBLISHING, BEAUTY, CPG, etc.
Of course...the consumer will drive much of this activity. As people become more confident in the stability of the economy & their own situation - they will begin to once again SPEND MONEY. Everyone is hoping that the holiday season brings strong numbers into the retail sector.
Along with economic confidence comes PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL confidence. This will be reflected in the number of people who have remained in jobs they are not happy in - have taken pay cuts in - and have taken on increased responsibility with no compensation or support --- no feeling confident enough to LOOK FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES. So...I am hoping that the combination of economic recovery coupled with this new found confidence will result in JOB OPENINGS that have not existed! Companies will have no choice but to hire if valuable employees begin to actively explore new opportunities. Even if the activity results in an initial increase in CONSULTING/CONTRACT/TEMP...it will create opportunity that has not existed in over a year!
