> SMART PEOPLE CREATE THEIR OWN FUTURES
It's been a tough economy for job seekers. But isn't it time to take the future in your own hands?
There's a major shift toward online recruiting. The head of consulting firm Accenture's global recruiting says “this is the future of recruiting for our company.” Sites like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com are a good start for new graduates. On Facebook, apps like BranchOut and Jobvite help recruiters and job seekers find one another. LinkedIn.com is a destination for those with job experience. It claims over 150 million professionals use its site for networking and career visibility.1
Starting your own business can also be a great career choice. Not everyone wants to work for someone else. Monster.com began when founder Jeff Taylor, shown here, jotted an idea on a sketch pad, made an early-morning trip to a coffee shop, and turned his notes into a business concept.2
Whatever your career direction—entrepreneurship, corporate employer, nonprofit manager—there's one thing for sure: The future is yours, but you have to take charge and go for it. You have to keep developing and even reinventing yourself with every passing day. If smart people really do create their own futures, what path are you on? Don't ever forget, what happens next is up to you!
