Are you Competitively Positioned for your Next Job?

Regardless of the Kool-Aid the media tosses our way, the economy is lackluster at best, the unemployment figures are understated and the workplace is far more demanding than ever.  Competition for jobs is fierce.  Hundreds of people apply for one position, whether it be sales,finance, project management or customer service (and more). At no other time in the history if the US economy has the worker every been more replaceable.

In order to properly manage your career, you will have to remain competitive not only within your job niche but also within your industry.  Professional development / certifications programs can help you achieve your goals. Whether you are enrolling in computer classes, business school or project management certification courses, the extra effort that you have taken will provide you with an extra skill / knowledge that competitors (i.e. other job seekers) may not have.
