A global poll conducted by Monster.com indicated 89 percent of job seekers surveyed across Europe, the United States, and Canada would consider an industry job change in their search for new employment during this present economic climate.

The company said its Monster Global poll asked 22,444 visitors to its sites “Would you consider a job in another industry?”

If the jobseeker’s focus is now on getting a job in their industry of choice – a place where they can realise their dreams – a place where they can find a job that satisfies their values and interests; well then they are heading in the right direction.
If on the other hand they are looking to get any job in any industry; I believe they may be disappointed.
It is as challenging at the moment to get any job as opposed to going for a job in an industry that ticks all the boxes for you.
Why?
Because of the law of supply and demand. As there is an oversupply in the marketplace, employers can wait for someone who really wants their job. This will be evident within minutes as who you are screams at me without you opening your mouth!
Go for your preferred industry – build up a compelling book of evidence that you want that job which would include embracing web 2.0, and see what happens!
