Millions of jobs have been lost

Many if not most of these jobs will not return

Productivity is the Key

It used to take more than 20 full-time workers to read roughly 140,000 gas meters in a small town in Massachusetts. With new technology, that work is now done by just one person.Productivity is the key to economic growth and that always results in more jobs

BUT NEW JOBS WILL APPEAR

The U.S. economy has evolved from agriculture, to manufacturing, and now to service. Now we're transitioning to an economy that values expertise and specialization. With the right economic planning, including strategies to distribute goods and services to global markets, there could be plenty of new jobs to go around.

Hiring Managers Fear Wrong Choices

• Cost of training is escalating• Wrong choices impact credibility• Legal implications• Budgetary limitations

Recruiters are using old paradigms

Recruiters and job counselors will both face uncertainty as they work to match job candidates with job openings.

They struggle to match people with job descriptions

It’s a Paradox

The uncertainty in who to hire will hinder competent individuals from getting jobs in which they would excelThe lack of relevant information will permit the hiring of good people into the wrong jobs, which they will then lose, returning them to the unemployment pool

Recycling People is Unpleasant

We need change

• The focus must change from the job to the person.

• It is not what you did.

• It is who you are

Focus on strengths

• The focus must be on the core strengths & abilities of each person.

• This is the unchanging foundation of what people bring to any job.

• It is easily measurable with today’s technology.

Information is now available

• This information is now easy to understand and easy to use.

• It is now designed for you and for your Job Search.

Things have changed

• Experience in one job does not always translate to another job.

• Success in one company does not always translate to success in another company.
