News about careers and business is always at the forefront of the most popular newspapers’ Money and Business sections. Reading this type of news can help any job seeker find new job openings before others do as well as to sound well-read and informed in an interview. For instance, US News and World Report recently published an article on the best employers for older workers. It cited that Cornell University, instead of cutting jobs due to the recent economic disaster, offered a retirement stimulus program for older workers. This allowed people to leave their jobs voluntarily if they felt ready to retire, and far fewer lay-offs had to occur. If you are an older worker, that is the type of win-win solution that makes a company one you would want to work for. When they start hiring again, if you fit into that category, you may want to apply.
In other news about career and business issues, the same publication featured an article entitled “How Healthcare Reform Could Get You Hired.” It detailed how the many changes that are taking place in the health care and health insurance industries today may be creating new jobs and reducing some barriers to entrepreneurship for those in health care careers and businesses. So, when you are seeking a job or considering a lateral career move within your business, keep in mind that the newspaper’s business and money section could offer you more useful information than the want ads.
