There sure are a ton of websites giving career advice during the recession, interestingly enough there are folks telling unemployed or laid off workers to seek employment in various so-called "recession proof" industries.
And one could suppose that this is a noble thing to do except for a couple of facts.
First, there is no such thing as a recession proof business and second, the individuals giving the advice are not in the industry and have never even worked in the sector.
Now there, may be recession resistant businesses, but there are no 'sure things' when it comes to careers or employment, and folks that claim there are either know better and are deceiving themselves along with those they advice, or they just don't care.
Much of the career advice you find online thankfully is "free" on the Internet, and that makes sense because that is about all it's worth.
If you are seeking career advice find someone in that industry to give you a run down, and then go read some of the latest trade journal articles online.
Next, check with a couple of the companies in the industry to see if they are hiring.
Next, look at the company's 50-week stock price.
If the companies you seek employment with are showing rapid decline of stock price, they will be laying off in the near future, if they are not already, certainly not hiring boat loads of people.
Please do not take career advice from someone online who has never even been in the industry or worked within the industry they recommend.
