Economy specialists on both sides of the American and Canadian borders are forecasting more job growth in 2010 and this is good news. In fact, it’s great news for those who are prepared for the increasingly challenging and ever-changing task of job searching. But what about those who have little or no experience looking for work or who have been outside of the job market for so long they don’t know where to start? What help is available?

Well for new graduates of most if not all educational institutes– be they high schools, colleges, universities or academies– have career orientation or employment placement departments. In addition, many government agencies offer excellent job searching assistance for new grads as well as those re-entering the job market after a pro-longed absence. Most will offer career appraisals: that is, help determining what you want to do, and help identifying the training and experience you already have or require in order to get the kind of job you want. Free or inexpensive resume writing or critiquing, interview training, job training and, in a number of cases, even paid internships are obtainable from many public agencies and some private organizations.

Thanks to technological progress and entrepreneurial originality, in 2010 it’s more simple to find job search help in the learning format that suits you best. For example if you learn best through videos, there are video tutorials and illustrated books to show you the ropes. In case that you’re an avid reader in the traditional sense, the number of textbooks and manuals on job hunting are in the thousands. Some old standbys are fine, but look for the newer releases to stay up-to-date on recent changes in employment market. If you like in-class instruction these are obtainable in most cities along with more contemporary online courses that often unite live video, audio and text.

We learn best when we are at ease, so choose a learning-style that suits your personality. If you’re not certain what type of learning surroundings works best for you– experiment! Take an online course, read a manual and be present at an in-class group session.

The key to being ready for the new tendency of job opportunities is simply that– be ready. So get started now. Find out what’s available in your area by doing an online investigation for “job hunting”, “how to get ready for a job interview”, “resume composing “, etc. Search “jobs”, “career” or “employment” on central, state/provincial, and local administration web sites. And remember that with the web, you can take advantage of the best resources from across the country or continent from almost anywhere you are.
