Multiple Careers

Those who were born well before the year 1946 seldom have worked with more than one employer in their entire life time. It is really the truth that people in the olden days used to work in a single career and under the single employer. However, now the time has changed. The professionals who have been involved in the jobs now tend to change their jobs at will and whenever they like.

I feel that they have become more flexible and hence they find no difficulty in changing the career. You might find a fellow engaged in the field of software development today. However you should not be surprised to see him working for the insurance company tomorrow. This can be a dilemma but for the generation next, it is a fun which they are very found of playing.

Multiple careers are now a fashion. And the recession has really made it more common. In today's world which is really suffering from the recession, I do feel that only the fittest can survive. This is because you really do not know that which kind of job you will be offered. You are now really not sure of this but I must tell you one more thing and that there is a scarcity of jobs in the market at present.

Hence you can not really assume that if you are leaving a job then you will soon get the other. This is really impossible at present. Hence it is really advised that you should really do the job which are getting.

You cannot really leave the job as far as the present market is concerned. I really feel that you will definitely be in better position if you are choosing the right career but also make sure that you are versatile. It is really good at present to be ready to do any kind of jobs. I certainly believe that if you will act like this then you will certainly be in better position. The job search still looks easy for some fellows. But can you tell why it is so. I must tell you that it is so because they are ready to do any kind of jobs. They really do not hesitate in doing the field work even if they are the fellows of the software engineering department.

This is what multiple careers is all about. I must really say that the world of employment is really changing now. I must tell you that now you will seldom see some people working for the same company more than 2 to 3 years. They hardly now work for one year and then change the company if they are getting the better opportunity.
