Somebody’s got to be a clown
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I am convinced there is a job for everybody and for everybody there is a job.
Year after year in the career management industry I am amazed at the number of different types of jobs that are available to individuals who are committed to finding the right job for them.
I remember one client who wanted assistance in writing her resume who had made her profession within the funeral industry.
That’s right! A Crematorium needs an Embalmer. A Funeral Equipment Supply Company may be seeking a new sales manager. A church has to hire a Pastor who will reside over funerals.
If you are looking for an industry with longevity, the funeral industry is certainly not going to be outsourced!
In fact, I remember one unique client who had worked in the nutrition, hospitality, automobile, and funeral industries. Now that client was versatile.
He understood his skills were transferable and kept adapting them to the demands of the marketplace.
So many people don’t open up their imagination, think outside the box, or adapt quickly when it comes to their professional lives.
Without actively exploring your innumerable career choices, you may never know which one best suits you.
Start simple by asking the people you meet what they do and how they found that career.
Search ajcjobs right here from top to bottom, not just in the categories you are most familiar with.
You would be amazed at how many kinds of jobs are available that you haven’t heard of or thought of before.
One person decides to pursue a job as a banker because that’s what her dad did.
Another brave person pursues a career as a clown because that is how he can earn money and make others laugh at the same time.
Remember somebody’s got to be a clown. Life is short so live your dream, even in your career!
