Career insight from Monster
When checking the Monster job boards, you will be presented periodically with a “Special Offer” when first hitting a page. Today’s Special Offer started:
Do you ever have that thought as you contemplate your current employment (or lack thereof) status?
You’ve worked your entire career to build the skills necessary to make you valuable to your employer. You work hard.
You keep thinking that once “this” is all over things will get back to “normal”. Or, if you’re not currently employed, you’re probably thinking that you can’t wait to get back to work, once this crazy recession goes away and the economy “settles down” and gets back on track…
So what exactly is “normal” anyway?
Many people are finding that there is no returning to the way things used to be. They also realize that now the timing is right for them to create their own “normal” and control their own destiny as a business owner. Many of them choose to do that through franchise ownership.
I don’t know if franchise ownership is right for everyone but the insight is dead on, I think. I came to the same conclusion two years ago: My normal IT career the way it used to be is gone forever–along with the earning capability.
