I read a new article this morning and thought I’d share it with some of our readers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare jobs will grow the fastest over the next 10 years, which is great news for all of us, but especially those in healthcare. Here is the article from the BLS and other data that might interest you.

I would be curious to know what you think. Personally I found the “BLS data” very interesting and of course a bit confusing. (For example, Table 7) The 30 occupations with the fastest projected employment growth, 2010-2020 – Nothing about nursing, but PT’s, Sonographers, and a few others are listed along with “Bicycle Repairers”?? Interesting info.

For more information:

- read the Reuters article
- read the BLS press release
- check out the BLS data

Frankly I am shocked at how many crummy resumes I see come across my desk on a weekly basis. However, I am more shocked that job applicants don't realize it is crummy and take the chance that employers will overlook the matter. Please people, realize that you are likely competing with a dozen or more applicants for a single job and you need to look sharp. Common sense? You would think so. Take time to do it right, or find a professional service to help you.

Regardless of how some feel about working with recruiters, many top executives work with executive recruiters for a variety of reasons. The top reason is usually confidentiality. The second is time. “Successful executives typically do not have the time to surf job boards all day, nor do they want their resume being plastered all over the web.

The facts is, there are many benefits to working with professional recruiters, but you have to be willing to take direction and work the process.

We are all ready for some sense of normalcy again. Or maybe we already have it and what was appearing "real" in the last decade was us really just running up the credit card. A false sense of security. Maybe we are NOW normal and we are learning what millions of dead people before us who went through the depression already learned. Good times don't last forever, so be prepared. Are you prepared?

No wonder my grandpa refused to use a credit card. No wonder he managed a vegetable garden every year. No wonder he was an avid hunter. No wonder he lived well below his means - Yes, no wonder. If your electricity went out for one month, would you be prepared? Do you have cash? Do you have food and water to last you that long? Do you have a gun to protect your family from the criminals who are at your door to take your food and water because they weren't prepared? What I have learned over the last 3 years is; I'd better be more prepared.

My wife and I had a chance to go see Avatar this weekend with some friends. I have to admit, I'm not a big movie guy. The $9.00 ticket, and overly priced popcorn make my frugal brain go wacko. But..... this was an experience.


We did the 3-D Avatar showing, and it was amazing! The first few minutes were a little weird, and I felt almost a little motion sick with all the movement and "closeness". But after my brain adjusted, Avatar was a spectacular experience.

I believe 3-D will be the next big thing in movies. Now that it is perfected, I would not want to see it any other way. Especially action and adventure flix. I'll still wait for comedy and drama movies to come out on blu-ray.

Well once again it holds true that "common sense is just not that common". When it comes to employment, or should I say unemployment, I do feel compassion for most people who are unemployed. However, there are some who I have no sympathy for, and I can usually tell who they are rather quickly. They have the “woe is me attitude” and take no responsibility for where they are in their career. It is fairly easy to pick them out after a brief conversation. Nonetheless, my simple advice is the same to everyone. Take it or leave it. I have been doing this for a living for 18 years, and when the game is tight, you best get back to the fundamentals and outwork your competition.

I’m going to give you three tips, and three tips only:

In my many years of providing business services, I've never been as frustrated as I am today. Here is a scenario that happens almost weekly. A hospital client calls us up and says "hey Dale, we need such and such done by the end of the week. Will you please get to work on this right away?" Wait a minute... it's Wednesday afternoon, I think to myself. But because they are a long-term client (not necessarily a good client), I drop everything and spend the next two days making sure I get them what they need. AND THEN! I don't hear from them for a week. And guess what? They don't even call me. When I do finally get them to answer the phone, I get the ol' "oh, never mind. We were able to get it covered".

What is the matter with people? Do they not have any respect for others time? Do they not understand that my time is money? How would they feel if their CEO did this to them only to say "oh, never mind" after all the work was done?

I would never, ever, ever do this to someone. It's disrespectful and shows no respect for someone who is supposed to be a partner in business. It also goes to show just how much business relations have diminished in this new technology era.

Yes, I know your busy. But so am I!
