The Changing World of Work

OLD MINDSETS
Are you operating on the following beliefs?
• College degree guarantee jobs and a middle class lifestyle
• If I just work hard, I will be secure in my job, career
• If I do the “right thing” I will be given an opportunity
• Security equals benefits and compensation
• Taking risks lead to rejection
• I need a job with insurance benefits
• One, job one career
NEW MINDSETS
• Taking the initiative to make my college degree work for me
• Security depends upon my knowledge of political and economic trends tht impact industries
• I am in charge of promoting me inside an outside of the company
• I need to be open to risk taking, new ideas and innovation
• Security comes from the people I know—my network of contacts
• I have to create my own opportunities
• I will have several careers over a lifetime, part-time, temporary, self-employed and multiple job holders
"I was going through so much trauma and Jan was very supportive emotionally and personally. She did all of the career and personality testing to identify my interests. She looked at my family's career background. Then she identified the jobs that fit my interests and my background. She is aware of what is going in the workforce and of the demand for jobs. She kept me motivated and looking to the future, guiding me to immediately take classes at the community college and to start thinking about working for temp agencies that hire for the companies I would eventually be interested in working for." -Valerie, 43, Renton;
