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.
