IT professional (big company) -- IT professional (smaller company). Large companies have been disproportionately hit with layoffs in a variety of fields, but there are many more opportunities for IT professionals at small firms or start-up companies, Koropeckyj tells. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a strong demand for network systems and data communications analysts and computer software engineers, so if prospects at the big firms are drying up, prospects at smaller companies should be growing.
IT专业人士(大公司)--IT专业人士(小公司)。大公司在很多层次大幅度的裁员,但是对IT人才来说,在小公司发展或自己创业的机会更多,Koropeckyj如是说。美国劳工统计局公布网络系统和数据通信分析师,计算机软件工程师的市场需求都非常大,所以如果你在大公司的前景堪忧的话,在小公司反倒可能会有很好的发展机会。

Copywriter/print designer -- project manager. It's more competitive than ever to find a creative job at an ad agency, but many project management positions are opening up, especially for people who understand how to work with tight budgets, according to Megan Slabanski, executive director of The Creative Group.
广告文字撰稿人/印刷设计师—项目经理。The Creative Group 公司的执行董事Megan Slabanski认为,虽然如今在广告公司找到一份富有创造性的工作的竞争压力更大,但是还是有很多的项目管理机会,特别是对于那些懂得如何处理紧张预算的人才机会更多。

"If you have good organizational skills and understanding of an agency, or if you've been in any kind of leadership role, such as bringing in deliverables on time and under budget, you may already have what it takes to land a project management job," Slabanski says.
Slabanski说:“如果你有良好的组织才能,了解代理,又或者如果你曾经承担过任何管理的职务,比如在预算之内按时付费,那么,你就可能具备了成为一名项目经理的资格了。”

Auto salesperson -- "repo man." The economy has hurt sales professionals; it also created opportunities for people who repossess cars and other vehicles when buyers have fallen behind on payments. Employment requirements vary from state to state, but in general the bar to entry is not high. In addition, collection agencies have seen a sharp increase in workload, so opportunities for collections agents are increasing. These jobs require a tough skin; but if you have a lot of experience at sales, your ego is probably resilient.
汽车销售人员—“回收人”。经济已经给销售人员带来了损失。也给那些当买主无法支付货款时回收汽车或其他车辆的人创造了机会。虽然每个州的就业要求大有不同,但是总体来说进入的门槛不是太高。另外,讨债公司的工作量也有大幅度的增加,所以工作机会也就相应增加了。这项工作要求脸皮要厚,但如果你在销售业已经有了丰富的经验,你本身可能就非常灵活了。

The Common Thread
通用的路线

If there seems to be a theme in job opportunities, there is: making the best of a bad economy. Downsizing is in, both in personal finances and in corporate payrolls. Jobs or careers dedicated to helping people (or companies) better manage their finances, save money, get better value for their dollar, and avoid financial catastrophe should be more plentiful in the short term, Koropeckyj says.
如果说就业机会有主题的话,那就是:最大限度的利用好最坏的经济。公司的薪水和你个人的财产都缩水了。Koropeckyj说,在短期之内,对那些能够更好的管理自己的财产,知道如何省钱,懂得怎样让自己的美元有更好的价值,避开财政危机的人来说,工作机会可能更多。
