Where I Can Find A Job - 3 Tips to Land you a Job
Having placed all of the doom and gloom news in your face I have a few answers for your main question - Where I can find a job. It is my opinion that the following 3 areas are going to be great for job hunting in the near future:
1. The Mortgage Industry: There are tons of people out there that are still able to pay their bills and mortgage, but are very tight on money. The interest rates are going down at this time so more and more people are going to look o refinance. Rates are below 5% at the time I wrote this article.
2. Real Estate: There is an unbelievable surplus of real estate on the market at this time. There are already many people coming to depressed areas and purchasing homes at crazy discounts. Once the market bounces there will be a selling frenzy.
3. Medical Billing: With the advances in medicine and people living longer and longer there is a great opportunity to get into the field of medical billing. If you can start small on your own and move up to employing a few people you train the upside of this niche is tremendous.
I hope these tips help you answer Where I can find a job.
Let me know your thoughts.

Tips for Resume Writing - The Best Tip Ever
I have worked for a Fortune 100 company and a small business. I spent time as a laborer and in management. I have a few college degrees to my name as well. All in all I think my professional career is pretty well rounded. I have moved from one job to another as the times have passed and I do not regret any of the changes. In the recent past many of my friends and family have come to a point that they need to write a resume for the first time. The following is the single most important point in writing a resume:
Create a standard resume in a word document that has minor items that can be changed to seem as a "Taylor Made Resume" for a specific job you are interested
in landing.
If you invest the time up front to cover all of the basics in a standard resume then you are 90% of the way there. This is where my resume writing tip comes in to the equation.
Once you have found a few employers that are hiring spend 15 to 20 minutes on line researching their business. If they are a project management company add 4-5 points that show your project management skills. If they are in the supply chain field add appropriate content.
This resume writing tip will benefit you in multiple ways. The first is that when the company is screening potential employees your resume will stand out. The second is that WHEN you are called for your first interview you will have first hand knowledge about the company you are interviewing with and the business you are trying to enter.
