Trends for 2010

The Dallas Morning News in an article on page 1J in its January 10, 2010, issue, “Make Yourself Indispensable in the Workplace” lists the following trends that companies hope to bring in 2010:


1. Strengthening the work force – employers hope to replace their lower-performing jobs with higher performers.


2. Focusing more of social media to improve a company’s brand.


3. Bringing back laid-off employees and trainees.


4. Reducing benefits and perks.


5. Providing flexible work schedules including telecommuting, job sharing, and compressed workweeks.


6. Finding freelance and contract workers.


7. Adding green jobs.


8. Hiring bilingual workers.


9. Decreasing business travel.


After reviewing the above list, what job-seeking strategies come to mind? If nothing comes to mind, then perhaps you should rethink your present job-seeking strategy.


Please share your job-seeking strategies with others in this blog.


Thanks! Glyn
