Say no to unemployment- optimal fields to start in

06/04/2020 Amari Lindroos

The spread of coronavirus is affecting the lives of billions worldwide. People are confined in their homes, many companies are reducing hours or pay, or both. And while, of course, health comes first, the impending economic consequences are a close second. Businesses are being affected-  many people are unsure about their jobs, and anxious about their financial security.

How are we going to get through this? That’s what everyone’s wondering. We all have loans to repay, rent and utilities to worry about, and general expenses that keep piling up -  and now there’s talk of extending the lockdown further. When can we go back to work? It’s unclear.

In difficult times like this, with the economy largely on hold, it’s becoming clear that many people will end up with no income- at least temporarily. So if you were laid off, or think you’re about to be, you’re probably wondering what you can do to more easily get through this.

The good news is that the crisis is sure to pass- and when it does, experts believe that certain fields will be waiting for capable new experts to fill in the vacant positions. Find out which fields you should look to when trying to re-launch your career.

1.Travel agent

While all areas of life are affected, the field of tourism really took a hit. Everyone’s staying home, borders are closed, travel destinations are closed and flights are largely cancelled – going on vacation isn’t really an option right now.

Which means that when everything clears and travel’s back on the table, folks will be eager to celebrate with a trip. Why not start preparing now, and when the tourism boom comes, you can ride that wave straight to success?

2.Medical secretary

The medical sector is obviously in desperate need of help right now- and it’s sure to stay that way for a while. This is an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door, and start building your healthcare career.

3.Love coach

Many couples are used to mostly seeing each other after work and on weekends- suddenly being under lockdown together with no personal space can take some getting used to. Even if people love each other very much, they still need to adjust to this change of pace, especially with no end date in sight. One of the best ways to do that is through love coaching/ couples counseling. If you’re interested in human behavior… if you’re fascinated by the way people communicate and behave, and want to uncover the workings of human relationships, then a couples counseling career may be for you!

4.Veterinary Assistant and Animal Care

One of the side effects of the lockdown is that people can’t visit animal shelters and adopt. Not just that, but studies show many people are abandoning their pets on the street right now. As a result, shelters are bursting at the seams, and it’s getting harder and harder to help the animals inside. Once the lockdown is lifted, a lot of our poor furry friends will be in overdue need of love and affection. Do you love animals? Start preparing, and be ready to give them the help they need, when they need it!

5.Positivism coaching

It’s okay to feel down every once in a while, but it’s important to not let emotion get the best of you. Most people aren’t used to being trapped at home for long period of time, away from their family and friends- it’s not surprising that stress levels are on the rise. It’s important to recognize when we’re entering a negative feedback loop, and prevent it. Negative thoughts can lead to more negative thoughts, which can lead to anxiety issues- so it’s useful to occasionally take a step back and evaluate your emotions. But it’s hard to impartially evaluate yourself – and that’s where positivism coaching comes in.

Do you want to stay productive and prepare for success in a new field after the summer? Do you imagine yourself emerging from this lockdown better than before? Choose a distance course that interests you, start learning, and the results are guaranteed to follow.
