We are in this recession together and any job searching tips can make the difference in employment. Read about the recession proof jobs, best jobs in a bad economy, online schooling, stimulus jobs and how to advertise your resume.

Running out of ideas on what jobs are the best in this bad economy? You want to think about jobs that will always be in need regardless of the situation. Some of the jobs below require certifications and have educational requirements. In order to take advantage of these jobs, you have to be committed towards improving your educational background.

• Government Related Jobs – The stimulus bill has put a lot of money into government related jobs. This field should be lucrative in the near future. Apply for positions at USAjobs.gov.
• Police Officer – Despite the risks involved in law enforcement, the starting salaries are pretty decent. Police Officers and their families get pensions and there is plenty of growth in this position. Salary increases are annual and tend to increase even more after a few years on the job. Very stable work for those in their young 20’s to 30’s.
• Garbage Collectors – Everyone throws garbage out even in a bad economy. The work here is pretty strenuous and not recommended for those with a weak stomach. Early mornings and late nights are the norm, depending on your shifts.
• Actuary – If you have a strong background in math, an actuarial position pays a lot. These are the people who calculate risk and uncertainty on such things as insurance and then set the prices. There is a lot of probability and statistic work. You need to be able to pass their professional tests as well.
• Nursing – The US population is getting older and many will require assistance in their golden years. The demand will continue for many years. The downside is the training and educational requirements. However, most schools are now offering 2 year programs to speed up the process. These programs are very rigorous and will test your heart and mind. Get more information about healthcare degrees before you make the decision to seek a job in the health field.
• Nursing Educators – Even more important and crucial to this demand in healthcare are the professors and experienced nursing teachers. Nursing is flooded with top competition as everyone applies to the program. Schools are unable to accept everyone because there aren’t enough qualified people to teach the materials. There is lot of stability in this field. In many cases, the pay is lower than being in a hospital or healthcare center. However, many schools are noticing the low supply and have been steadily increasing the pays.

Remember no job is truly safe. Only you can invest in your own skills and prepare for anything that occurs. Get started by requesting degree information for these jobs. Many degrees can now be achieved online and catered around your work or family schedule.

If more schooling is not in your future, you might want to start your own business. Small business opportunities are widely available and are increasing everyday as the economy continues to tank. Go and find out which are the most common ideas and opportunities.

There’s no better way to supplement your existing resume than to start a blog. The internet is an excellent resource to advertise your name. Instead of posting a single email address, you can also include a webpage address in your resume.

Benefits In Having A Blog

• Add on information that will help the interviewer get a better sense of your character.
• Include your previous projects from past work.
• If you helped out in the community, post some pictures.
• Anything that raises your good moral side will be beneficial.
• You can write a beautiful story instead of the single lines on a resume.
• Someone might stumble upon your page and offer you a job based on the qualifications you display.

Here are some topics to write about and get you started.

• Your interests
• Personal goals
• Reflecting on prior experiences in the workforce

Keep it Professional

• No one employing you, needs to read about how much food you ate. (unless it’s related to your work)
• Do not, under any circumstances, insult your previous employers on the blog. The writings on the blog should be positive and explain how you’ve grown from prior experiences. You may need them for references in the future.

More importantly, have fun and be creative. By doing so, the blog won’t feel like work but rather something you enjoy doing. A place where you can reflect on your thoughts.

Get started by going to Dreamhost for some blogging space.

Even with the uncertainty around us, we know there will be more natural disasters in the future. FEMA job opportunities should be plentiful. There is a growing need for disaster relief. With more government money going into jobs, this field should not be overlooked. Let’s find out some of FEMA’s work opportunities and FEMA gov job duties.

There are people directly involved with insurance claims, repairing the lives of families and food & equipment supplies distribution. In an emergency situation giving out food, shelter and first aid are the most important things.

FEMA Security Guards

Since security is a big problem after a natural disaster, police officers, security guards, inspectors and bodyguards are in demand as well. Security guards are responsible for maintaining the order and making sure there is not any destruction of property and looting of public and private goods. In a natural disaster there is enough chaos to go around. With extra eyes, proper aid can be handed out to those with need. Security guards for FEMA will monitor these handout lines of food and make sure they get delivered.

FEMA Rescuers

Also in demand are search and rescue technician workers that find injured or trapped victims in collapsed buildings and homes.

FEMA relief workers have in their job descriptions, the ability to communicate with the public while being able to maintain and control the dangerous situations. This is not an easy job when people are panicking and wondering where and when the relief is coming.

There are job openings in FEMA call centers where information gets routed and answers the concerns of those in need.

With all the injured and malnourished individuals that are discovered, there is also a large demand for doctors, nurses and those able to set up emergency stations quickly.

The positions requiring more education is civil and construction engineers, surveyors, building inspectors and estimators. Engineers help with rebuilding the area’s infrastructure and making sure water and energy demands will be fully met. Stability of buildings that survived the disasters cannot be overlooked. FEMA building inspectors check if homes and buildings can be safely accessed by people before they are returned to their owners.

With the oil spill in the Gulf, expect FEMA to get involved and have FEMA oil jobs available for those who want to help with the cleanup of the beach and animals.
