November 2 - November 23, 2015 13 Working World l WorkingWorld.com CAREER TRAINING photo processor are already being phased out. But jobs like locksmith, stockbroker, printer and real estate agent are also in danger of being phased out. In the future people will have locks that recognize their fingerprint or voice. And most people are already doing their own printing and stock transactions. Jobs like parking lot attendant are being automated. Look into the future and figure out if your job can and will be eliminated. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up on the career entirely. You might just have to reevaluate how you do your job or take another job in the same field that will be around for a while. 4. Skills Need to Improve – I don't really see this as a negative, as I believe you should always be learning something new. But it does take work. And anyone who went through four years or more of college might be a little tired of having to study. But study you must if you want to stay ahead of your competition. Technology changes every few months and you need to be able to keep up if you want to compete. A report from the U.S. Census Bureau details the breakdown of education and earning potential. A high school graduate can expect to earn $1.2 million throughout their adult life. But someone with a master's degree can earn over twice that amount. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that women who graduate from college earn a whopping 76% more than their counterparts who only have a high school degree. 5. Lowered self-esteem – This one tops the list as one of the worst things about a bad job market. Face it, it's an employer's market. They have their pick of the best of the best. And you are going to be at their mercy. Where's the silver lining in that, you're wondering? Well, if you want to jump to the top of the list in the employer's mind you'll have to turn that around and figure out what makes you special, unique and different. Once you do, you'll realize that you really don't have any competition. Somewhere out there is a job that you are perfectly suited for. Start by making a list of your accomplishments. Don't just list your job skills, but think about what you've accomplished in your life. Do you have a happy marriage? Did you raise great kids? Did you put yourself through school without any financial help? Can you put together a gourmet meal on a low budget? Can you make any outfit look like a million bucks? Did you teach yourself how to take a car engine apart and put it back together? The longer your list, the better you'll feel. Another reason you need to turn things around is because you need to start seeing how you can help the employer. If you don't believe in yourself, they won't either. If you've done your homework, you will know exactly what they are looking for and how you are the perfect match for the job. So, keep those things in mind the next time you feel yourself getting down. I believe that opportunities are everywhere. You might not recognize them at first. A low paying job or a job you take in a new industry might just be an opportunity in disguise. The trick is to learn everything you can from it, and add it to your long list of accomplishments.
