Sick of the Dismal Employment Reports

When the economy is down people tend to think and believe the worst. The politicians can and do help at times but they are not the answer to all of our problems.

The truth is Sales is one of the few professions that is always in demand. The only way we as a country are going to get out of the dilemma we are in is to literally “Sell Our Way Out Of It“.

As I have mentioned before I came up in hard times and although I did not realize at the time that times were indeed hard, I still managed to make a respectable living. By doing so through selling products for the most part I was able to help keep four or five other families gainfully employed.

A typical professional salesperson not only provides for his family but enables four or five other families to put bread on the table.

He or She does this by selling products that have to be manufactured by someone and then delivered, stored, distributed and bought are used by the general public.

On top of the employment problems the country is now facing we have all of the weather related issues to deal with.

I am no stranger to weather problems as my home has been virtually destroyed twice and then severely damaged in the last big storm that hit our area.

All you can do when it comes to Mother Nature is to prepare the best you can and have the sense and responsibility to get out of dodge when the powers to be tell you it is time to go.

If you stay during an evacuation, you, your family and pets just add to the problem.

That is also kind of how you deal with employment issues. If you are smart you make plans before you get laid off or get the boot. This way there are no surprises when you are let go.

The smart thing to do is to always keep abreast of what is available as you never know when you are going to have your final meeting with the boss.

Incidentally if you need a job or want to get into the sales profession you might want to check out my other blog.

At Career-Acquisitions you will find links to several employment ad sites that cover virtually every job opening in the United States.

You may also need to get a grant or student loan and look into a career in the health profession as they are really hurting for qualified people right now.

Virtually ever profession on the planet needs salespeople, including the health profession.

So for that reason I have always said that salesmanship is the most important attribute any person could possibly possess.

If you are one of the thousands of people affected by the storms last weekend and looks like this weekend as well, I want to encourage you to do your best and work your way through the mess.

If you need a job my best advice is to simply go get one. There is plenty of hints and helps to do that on the other blog.

If you need help selling you can always read my many former post here at Sales and Selling.

So good luck and good selling.
