Find a Need, Find Potential Employment
By MCN Staff
Take a moment to look at your environment the next time you walk along a
busy sidewalk. What do you notice? If you live in a major metropolitan
area you might notice the diversity of people. This is no mirage. It is
very real according to the latest data from the 2000 Census. Whether this
increase in diversity is due to an influx of immigrants, birth rates, or
increased mobility in our society, the impact of it has potential for the
resourceful and innovative. When one looks at the bleak (No increase
according to a recent Employment Outlook Survey) employment outlook in
both the public and private sector for the fourth quarter of this year, it
may be a good idea to get in touch with your innovative side.
Take a look at the diverse society needs identified below to help you
get started:
- Trained Interpreters
- ESL Teachers
- Bilingual/Multilingual Social Service Professionals
- Transcultural Medical Professionals
- Energy Resource Managers
Once you identify a need that piques your interest, talk to people who can
help you make things happen. Additional training may be needed in some
instances, but the need may be so great that you can learn while you earn.
After all, this is the goal, and finding meaningful, sustaining, and
fulfilling employment while filling a need is most rewarding.
