Time to consider an admin job?
With the global economy being in the current mess, many people are having to consider a change of career right now.
But, where would you look that’s doable with your current skill set yet simultaneously being a relatively secure place to sit out the recession? One possible avenue is in the area of admin careers which many people look down on as being humdrum and boring. Certainly that’s true of some but then it’s true of some jobs in all fields of work.
In fact, the “admin” umbrella covers a whole multitude of different jobs from the most junior clerical end right through to top managers. Not only that but administration is a function that’s required in all fields thus you can find some admin jobs in rather interesting niche industries if you look hard enough.
As always, the problem these days is making yourself stand out from the crowd and it can be a particularly large crowd sometimes: only recently I read of one job getting 500 applicants. With that in mind, it’s best to spruce up your qualifications whether or not you are currently in need of a job.
