Great personality!This morning I was talking to a friend about the dismal job market. The unemployment rate stands at 10% nationally and double that number in the black community. It is interesting to read the online want ads. The ad might ask for someone who has the following skills: creative writer, graphic designer, editor, website guru, social marketing expert and also housekeeping skills. You might have to clean the office at the end of the day. The employer wants a one man band. They want someone that can do it all and do it very cheaply. In the past people were respected for the discipline they had mastered. If the employer wanted a writer that is what he would place the ad for. He wanted a person who had the expertise in that particular area, but now they are looking for someone to come in and concept, design, write, edit, post it on the website and make cold calls to sell it. If you can’t do it all in 2010 you better to learn how to at least do two things pretty well because no one seems to be looking for anyone to just do one thing excellently.
