Economic Downfall

This economic recession has gotten me thinking about potential job opportunities or lack there of. My parents and friends keep mentioning how the job market will be slim to none. All of this talk got me really worried about my chances in finding a great Public Relations job after I graduate. Luckily, this changed when I read "PR in 2009 - dark clouds, but pros see a silver lining." This article gave a positive outlook on the future of PR. This news was shock to me but definitely a good shock. I figured the recession would bring all careers down, but the article addressed how all businesses need to keep the trust of their publics, and communication is the key to that trust. This news was a lift off my shoulders. It makes sense that communication will always be needed, and therefore, careers dealing with communication will always be around. I'm not saying it will be piece of cake to find a job, but it will be possible.

  1. It's comforting to know we'll always be needed. But the trick may be what places are looking in a struggling economy. It's not going to be easy finding a job in any economy, however.
