      Intro

      If you’ve ever watched a sunrise, you know that for the first few minutes, just as that initial glow begins to peek over the horizon, it’s still very dark. It’s especially dark on a cloudy day when the early sunlight is filtered through several layers of atmosphere. A recovering economy, especially one that struggled as long and hard as the one that accompanied The Great Recession, holds many similarities with the rising sun.

      There wasn’t a country or a person alive who didn’t in some way know of, feel the pressures of or feel the ramifications of the 2008 economic meltdown. Certainly there are many people who began to feel the worst of the recession in 2009 just before or after many economists declared the recession over. What no one denies is that the toll this recession took on the job market was severe even for traditionally insulated industries. And to make matters even more dire, this perfect storm peaked at a time when many families were already balancing dangerous debt to asset ratios.

      Even with a recovery well underway, employers are slow to hire. The offers they are extending are often at a lower base pay than for those same positions before the recession. Many jobs are not coming back. While notable as an indicator, the most basic reality comes down to one question: How is this affecting my family?

      As a new day dawns, job hunters recognize that the rules have changed. There are more tools, apps, websites, and other resources available now than ever before. But with more good information, there is also more misleading information. Which resources you listen to now matters more than ever before.

      If you’re someone who could benefit from the expertise of a career counselor, an employment center or a step-by-step tool to help you create your own job security, trained professionals are available to help.

      Beware though. Career coaching can be very expensive. Upfront fees generally range from $5,000 to $20,000, and hourly fees can range from $100/hour to $500/hour. For a referral, you may want to visit a site offering a coaching directory, such as CareerManagementAlliance.com or CareerDirectors.com.

      If you’ve decided to first try it on your own, you’ve come to the right place for resources that can get you in the door and let you know what to expect from the hiring process. This resource guide includes the most critical
