Considering Relocation or Remote Work Opportunities 

Sometimes work plays out in one area, and those wanting to stay in that field must move to a new location where the jobs are rising. It happens for many reasons and is often bad for those unwilling to relocate.  

 I have met people who will not change location or learn new techniques or software to stay viable with the current market needs. Some tell me they would not even look for a job until their old one returned. Unfortunately, their old job ended due to technological changes that removed the need for her position. It would not be returning. 

We must keep up with the new changes and innovations within our career fields if we do not want to become obsolete. It is not that our corporations don’t like us. They just cannot keep up with the competition by using older technology. 

Find trade publications you can read online and watch what the competition is doing. It will pay off in the long run.

Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
