The Pro-active Career: Better Get With The 21st Century Program!

It's no secret that career job search times have changed. Especially in the 21st Century marketplace.

Just take a look at the dramatic changes that have occurred in the last few years:

2. Lifetime employment went out with the dinosaurs.

It was largely the corporations that ended the traditional employment contract in the late 80's and early 90's. Since the notion of "loyalty in exchange for lifetime employment" no longer made bottom line sense to many organizations, hundreds of thousands of workers lost their jobs.

Times have changed. Have you changed with them?
