This is especially valanbil for men, who tend to make the job a huge part of their identity, so any demotion or dismissal is a devastating blow to their egos and their self-esteem.

So make your life a program and stick to it even if you have to. Imagine that you work from home and structure your day guiding you after that. For example, wake up every day at the same time, do a bit of sport, make some calls, do yourself a cheap lunch, send resumes afternoon, etc.
9. Do not let your mind run wild
It's easy to turn a bad event in the life of a planetary catastrophe.

There are a thousand things to do in a family and your partner will surely be grateful that you took the task. Yes, you probably have a few suggestions for new activities!
11. Be prepared to return to work
Recent research shows that many of those who returned to work after a long period of unemployment suffer from anxiety and depression because they are pressured by lenders and fear that if they do not do perfect job will be thrown out again. So get ready for difficulties returning to work. As with steep thoughts, simply because they are aware of these conditions and their cause can remove much of the anxiety and uncertainty. In any case, it's good to know you're not the only one going through this.
 Do not ever lose hope
Hope remained after last dying not only because, as they say, but that is the most powerful stress eliminator in existence. Doctors say that his hope is the best thing you can do for your body. So do not forget a truth often proved in life even if you feel desperate and lost, "when one door closes, a window opens." So do not you ever loses hope!

Job Security


Job security is the probability that an individual will keep his or her job; a job with a high level of job security is such that a person with the job would have a small chance of becoming unemployed.
Factors affecting job security Job security is dependent on economy, prevailing business conditions, and the individual's personal skills. It has been found that people have more job security in times of economic expansion and less in times of a recession. Also, some laws (such as the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964) bolster job security by making it illegal to fire employees for certain reasons. Unemployment rate is a good indicator of job security and the state of the economy and is tracked by economists, government officials, and banks.
Typically, government jobs and jobs in education, healthcare and law enforcement are considered very secure while private sector jobs are generally believed to offer lower job security and it usually varies by industry, location, occupation and other factors.
Personal factors such as education, work experience, job functional area, work industry, work location, etc., play an important role in determining the need for an individual's services, and impacts their personal job security. Since job security depends on having the necessary skills and experience that are in demand by employers, which in turn depend on the prevailing economic condition and business environment, individuals whose services are in demand by employers will tend to enjoy higher job security.
To some extent, job security also varies by employment laws of each country. A worker in Continental Europe, if asked about his job security, would reply by naming the type of statutory employment contract he has, ranging from temporary (no job security) to indefinite (virtually equivalent to 'tenure' in US universities but across the whole economy). However, people's job security eventually depends on whether they are employable or not, and if businesses have a need for their skills or not, so although employment laws can offer some relief and hedge from unemployment risk, they only have a marginal contribution to job security of individuals. Fact is, individuals need to have the right skill set to have good job security.

In Europe

The main difference vis-à-vis the United States is the system of indefinite contracts. In most European countries many employees have indefinite contracts which, whilst not guaranteeing a job for life, make it very difficult for the employer to terminate a contract. Employees who have legally acquired these rights, for example because they have been with a company for two years continuously, can only be dismissed for disciplinary reasons (after a number of formal warnings and subject to independent appeal) or in the case of a company undergoing restructuring (subject to generous laws on redundancy payments and often with retraining paid for by the company). In Spain, for example, such employees are entitled to 45 days redundancy pay per year worked. The high cost of redundancy payments is in practice what gives employees job security.
Whilst employees who have such legally-binding, indefinite contracts are in the enviable position of knowing that they (and their family) have complete financial security for the rest of their lives, it is important to realise that these obligations work both ways. In some countries such as Germany a company may prevent an employee (whose occupational training they have paid for) from leaving to take up a better post elsewhere until compensation is agreed. Even an employee of a company which is known to be about to fold may find himself compelled to stay with the company until the end even if he is offered work with a different firm.
Every company will have a mix of employees on different types of contract. Indefinite contracts can also exist for seasonal work. These so-called discontinuous contracts mean that a hotel, for example, may dismiss its staff in the autumn, but it must take the same people back on again the following spring.
The proportion of the workforce on indefinite contracts has fallen across Europe in response to increased competition and globalization. Companies may dismiss an employee just before he reaches the two-year mark and then re-hire him as a new employee. Many economists argue that greater labour market flexibility is necessary. Economics professors argue that the threat of unemployment is necessary to maintain incentives to high productivity. Meanwhile, John Kenneth Galbraith has argued that some established economics professors simultaneously seek tenure.[2] Jobs which are not backed by an indefinite contract are still poorly-regarded in many European societies, often disparagingly described as "precarious" or "McJobs", even when the company has good prospects.
In less regulated European economies, such as the United Kingdom, it is much cheaper to sack permanent employees. In Britain, employees are only entitled to a legal minimum of one week's redundancy pay per year worked (one and a half weeks for workers over 40). Instead, private- and public-sector employees who feel they have been unfairly dismissed have the right to take the company to an Employment Tribunal in order to be re-instated or to obtain extra compensation. It is not necessary to go through the normal court system.
In Sweden, employment contracts can be time-limited, and can be extended for new time-limited periods, or not, without reason. This is only allowed for the first two years of employment. At expiration the employee will stand without job and without compensation if no extension takes place. Most unemployed people, if they get a job, get a time-limited contract in Sweden.
In all European Union countries an employee retains his existing contractual rights if his company is taken over under the Acquired Rights Directive (in the UK, known as TUPE) so the years spent working for the old company would count when calculating redundancy payments, etc.

In the United States

Job security in the United States depends more upon the economy and business conditions than in most countries because of the capitalist system and the minimal government intervention in businesses. Job security in the United States can vary a lot since the supply and demand for jobs depends on the economy. If the economy is good, companies experience more demand for their products and create more jobs, which increases job security. However, in periods of economic slowdown or recession, companies try to cut costs and layoff workers which decreases job security. Importantly, employment in the United States is at will, meaning that apart from certain limited exceptions, an employee's job security is generally at the mercy of the employer.
In the aftermath of the dot com boom, computer related jobs experienced low job security whereas the situation was just the opposite prior to that. Since 2005 automotive sector jobs have experienced very low job security, and since 2007, real estate and mortgage related jobs have seen a big decrease in job security.
A growing number of American men have dealt with their unemployment and feelings of job insecurity by not returning to work. In 1960 5% of men ages 30–55 were unemployed whereas roughly 13% were unemployed in 2006. The New York Times attributes a large portion of this to blue collar and professional men refusing to work in jobs that they are overqualified for or do not provide adequate benefits in contrast to their previous jobs.

IT jobs, the perfect job?

The jobs in IT are now the best jobs on the board. These It jobs are also many, many companies needs programmers well prepared and with a lot of experience . Silicon Valley is the southern region of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California, in the United States. The region, whose name derives from the Santa Clara Valley in which it is centered, is home to many of the world's largest technology corporations as well as thousands of small startups. The term originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area, it is now generally used as a metonym for the American high-tech sector. Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States and the world, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading startup ecosystem for high-tech innovation and development, accounting for one-third (1/3) of all of the venture capital investment in the United States.[2] Geographically, Silicon Valley encompasses all of the Santa Clara Valley including the city of San Jose (and adjacent communities), the southern Peninsula Valley, and the southern East Bay. However, with the rapid growth of technology jobs in the San Francisco metropolitan area, some commentators now argue that the traditional boundaries of Silicon Valley have expanded north to include the rest of San Mateo County and the City and County of San Francisco, as well as parts of Marin County. According to a 2008 study by AeA in 2006, Silicon Valley was the third largest high-tech center (cybercity) in the United States, behind the New York metropolitan area and Washington metropolitan area, with 225,300 high-tech jobs. The Bay Area as a whole however, of which Silicon Valley is a part, would rank first with 387,000 high-tech jobs. Silicon Valley has the highest concentration of high-tech workers of any metropolitan area, with 285.9 out of every 1,000 private-sector workers. Silicon Valley has the highest average high-tech salary at $144,800.[16] Largely a result of the high technology sector, the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area has the most millionaires and the most billionaires in the United States per capita. The region is the biggest high-tech manufacturing center in the United States.[18][19] The unemployment rate of the region was 9.4% in January 2009, up from 7.8% in the previous month.[20] Silicon Valley received 41% of all U.S. venture investment in 2011. A lot of programmers are needed here and the jobs opportunity is very big. Thousands of high technology companies are headquartered in Silicon Valley. Among those, the following are in the Fortune 1000: Adobe Systems Advanced Micro Devices Agilent Technologies Apple Inc. Applied Materials Cisco Systems eBay Facebook Google Hewlett-Packard Intel Intuit Juniper Networks KLA Tencor LSI Logic Marvell Semiconductors Maxim Integrated Products National Semiconductor NetApp Nvidia Oracle Corporation Salesforce.com SanDisk Sanmina-SCI Symantec Western Digital Yahoo!

Looking for ajob

It is, and probably will remain a topical issue as long as people will have to earn money and one of the ways you will still earn a job.
As I said here last year for me was a Sabbatical year which I enjoyed fully. I was glad that I could invest in educational projects and many other initiatives that have contributed both to a better life for me and other fellow citizens of Romania. Now, at the beginning of 2010 has arrived when, for various personal reasons, I was looking for a new job. Hence the motivation to write these lines.
Being put back in position to look for work, I could say that I've worked almost all the information that we have vis-à-vis which meant the process.
Step 1: What do I want?
Stay with me and I make it very clear what I want. Beyond the appearance of the area in which I would like to activate, it is very important to figure out how I could look perfect job.
And to do that I looked first at my values ​​and what motivates me now, what gives me energy, which makes me and many other creative things that I want from me irrespective of where I'll find work.
Step 2: Let the public say.
After I put these things on paper I said I have to differentiate a bit. Everyone has the resume, so you should find something to bring them more value. To do something to dress your resume in a little more attractive coat.
So I started to write a blog post that it was "decorated" with images, text and even a video. From here we want to indicate very clearly what I established in Step 1, but also to be more attractive to read than a simple letter of intent.
Step 3: To disseminate information.
Those people to contact them from companies that I know and who I know beyond what is on your resume. Moreover, not only people I know, but I know it works or lead teams that would like to do my part.
I contacted to help me with information not only about what is happening in their companies, and to recommend opportunities that I may have heard or will hear in this period. I know what I'm doing nothing and make public information if it does not reach the right people.
Step 4: Feedback.
It is actually an intermediate step. During each step, we have received feedback and the feedback we have implemented almost without hesitation.
It is an old theory that I have from time to time, a student, apply for various conferences as a participant or trainer. After I finished the application form we send to 2-3 people for feedback. As a result of what the prime modify 5% - 10% of the content of the form. We had a rate of over 95% of acceptance and consider that in many cases made a difference feedback from those people.
Step 5: To shout out loud.
Or should I say mass dissemination on social networks. Last year we managed to publish the book "Who am I?" Because a person whom I met on Facebook. Also last year I met a person who has found a job and that many would like, again through Facebook. So I decided to use this opportunity to let information circulate there.
These are not "those five steps" to your dream job. There are only five steps that I share in what I do now. There are no steps that after a few hours already gave me an opportunity I did not know and that suits me and I applied for it. But certainly not a perfect formula.
Beyond what you read here, I think whenever you're in such a process at all you know about yourself, what you want and who can help keep them and not just information, but to ACTION.
