  • What are the activities that we humans, driven by our deepest nature or by the realities of daily life, will simply insist be performed by other humans?Those tasks are mostly relational. Being in a position of authority or accountability. Being a caregiver. Being part of a team. Transactional jobs are declining but relational jobs are expanding.
  • Empathy becomes a more important workplace skill, the ability to sense what another human being is feeling or thinking.
  • The ability to function in a group also becomes more important

  • I’m not sure we’re about to be overrun with waves of Byronic romantics, but we have been living through an unromantic period and there’s bound to be a correction. People eventually want their souls stirred, especially if the stuff regarded as soft and squishy turns out in a relational economy to be hard and practical.

    Nice chart and narrative on the big employment intermediaries by Christopher Null @Christophernull, PCWorld, July 23, 2013. Reviews Elance, Freelancer.com, oDesk, Staff.com, TaskRabbit for Business, Toptal, Ziptask. If you need a job done quickly, and cost is your greatest concern, one of the big e-ployment services like Elance, Freelancer, and oDesk are all good bets. If you're looking for a longer-term relationship with a worker, but aren't ready to hire someone full time, one of the smaller firms, like Staff.com or Toptal, may be more compelling. Finally, TaskRabbit's heavy background checking make it an ideal pick when you need someone on-site at your place of business, and you want to be sure they're going to show up come Monday.

  • Many entrepreneurs and small business owners need advice from consultants who work on an hourly basis. If you're an expert in your field, a consulting business can bring in extra income and still give you the flexibility you crave during retirement.

    article in Tampa Bay Times from Tribune News Service with 7 ideas for boosting income, June 28, 2015. 1. find work through online exchanges that feature part-time, home-based employment 2. work as a consultant on hourly basis 3. work for a staffing agency 4. turn interests into side jobs 5. participate in consumer research 6. rent out what you are not using 7. ???

    Doris, looks like you and I found the same article! Just as an update for everyone, I dove deeper into the opportunities for taking surveys to make money. I signed up for Focus Point Global (www.focusgroup.com). They do not have an office in our area, but perhaps additional online surveys may become available. the other company "Delve" seems to have been taken over by Focus Point as their web page defaults to Focus Point. This information may save someone from wasting a bit of time.

    This happens to Lisa and me, too. Sometimes our timing is just a bit off. Good work, Annette, on delving into Delve and Focus Point Global. Glad to see you here, too.

  • What does the job you're going for actually entail? Then you can tailor your experience to what an employer values. In one resume that I reviewed recently, the job applicant organized her resume by skill set, rather than listing her experience in chronological order. So, one bullet point was titled "Social Media," and she listed all of the various jobs where she honed that skill. No, she didn't have lengthy full-time employment, but she had amassed experience that added up to something in that particular category.

    Interesting review of book Leave Your Mark by Aliza Licht, SVP of global communications at Donna Karan International, from Tampa Bay Times paper, June 28, 2015. While her job advice is presented as particularly appropriate to younger, first entering the job market candidates, what is quoted here could also apply to boomers switching careers, too.
