Pursuing a 'Plan-B' Job
追求一份B计划的工作

Many professionals are finding it harder to land their dream job these days. In some cases, entire industries have been contracting and will continue to shrink. But when one door closes, another (somewhat similar, previously unconsidered, possibly less glamorous) door opens.
很多职场人士都发现如今很难找到自己理想的工作了。有时候，整个行业都已经缩小了，并且会持续缩减。但是一扇门关闭的同时，必定会有另一扇门（以前从没考虑过的，没那么有吸引力但是也还你梦想过做有些许相似的）开着的。

Here are a few examples of how professionals in a variety of fields could cast their job hunting net wider to land a "Plan-B" job with the skills they already have:
以下列举的是各行各业的一些专业人士如何利用现有技能将自己的求职领域扩宽到计划B工作。

Commercial real estate manager -- liquidator. When a company goes under, there are many steps involved, such as how to value inventory and how to determine the value of the property. "Right now there is a greater demand for liquidators, and those in commercial real estate who have that knowledge can be good candidates for those jobs," says Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist at Moody's
商业房产经理—清算人。在一家公司破产的时候，有很多事情要做，比如估算现有资产，以及如何确定这些资产的价值。Moody's 的一位经济学家Sophia Koropeckyj 说：“现在清算人的市场需求非常大，而商业房产经理拥有的知识则让他们成为该职位的最佳候选人。”

Stock broker -- investment counselor. In the wake of the Wall Street and banking meltdown, many investment banking careers are endangered. However, with the broker's knowledge of investment, finance, and value, and the consumer's quandary over where to invest, you have an opportunity. Investment counselors can help people determine their risk tolerance, financial plans, and -- something very important these days -- manage their debt. Counselors can find most job openings are at small firms, or they can start their own companies.
证劵经纪人---投资顾问。在华尔街风暴时期和银行业崩溃期间，很多投资银行业也无法幸免。然而，只要有了经纪人的学识、金融知识和价值观，还有不知道该如何投资的客户，你就有机会。投资顾问能够帮助别人计算他们的风险承担能力，制定财政计划，还有在如今非常重要的一件事情，那就是债务管理。顾问在小公司能够找到很多的工作机会，或者他们也可以自己创业。

Construction manager -- green building retrofitter. New commercial and residential construction is cold, but green building retrofitting is hot. Real estate experts say commercial property owners are clamoring to make their buildings LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, in order to attract more customers. In addition, homeowners are seeing a value in retrofitting their homes to be more energy efficient.
建筑经理—绿色建筑改造者。新的商业建筑和住宅建筑市场是惨淡的，但是绿色建筑改造市场是非常火热的。房地产专家声称，商业建筑业主为了吸引更多的顾客，都在竭力使他们的建筑通过LEED（领先能源环境设计）认证。另外，私房屋主也看到了将房屋绿色翻修的节能价值。
