Moving on...

With all the upheaval in the economy, there are many people that have changed careers, industries, relocated. All these events have both positive and negative aspects. They are a part of life.
With changed careers, people are presented with new situations. A re-inventing of one's past experiences to fit a new profession takes adjusting. Things area bit bumpy at the start, but as time progresses, things fall into place and the routine duties flow smoothly.
New industries present the same obstacles. Some corporate climates ares till stuffy and rigid with suit and ties required by even the mail room. In others, business casual is the norm and neckties are something you save for wedding and funerals. Blue jean Friday at some firms would be tantamount to treason.
Relocation is probably one of the most monumental change. Whereas a new career or industry effects the person employed, uprooting a family effects all involved. Children are in new schools, spouses need new jobs, weekly routines change drastically. Even if it is just one person relocated, it still has profound challenges. Friends and family are left behind, your personal support group is no longer a coffee cup or drink away, they are long distance and it might be cross country.
A friend of mine was laid off after 21 years at the same company that was a specialty manufacturer. In his last position he was aware of the demise of the company since he was part of the capital investment team. When investment in a company's future stops then it is doomed. After his dismissal he sold his house, moved to Florida and left engineering behind. He currently works as an accountant for a real estate management company, so in less than a year he completely changed his life.
The new life offers much more advantages than the old there are some differences. Housing is more expensive and the pay-scale is lower, but lives in an area he had always wanted. Vacations to Ft. Lauderdale Beach, Miami's South Beach, Disney or key West is just a weekend away, not a flight, car rental and hotel.
Frustrations over positions need to be forgotten. Maybe with previous responsibilities you were department head with many employees beneath you, and now you are just a staff member. To dwell on such things only cause a negative view of your position and infects co-workers. Trying to control or micro-manage your peers is not good for your reputation, and should be avoided. It will produce a calmer work environment.
So if change has been forced upon you from the sagging economy, try job.travel. Offering jobs in travel and hospitality, the opportunities for a new and rewarding career abound. So with a little re-inventing of one's self and maybe a possible relocation to a place you always want to be is just a few clicks away. Remember, change is good, daily /weekly/monthly routines become a drudgery after awhile, and new is almost always interesting.
