title: I see a change in your future.
abstract: Like it or not, peoples' careers are continually being affected by circumstances beyond their control. However, there are steps one can take to become more flexible and adaptable, and thus more employable, in a changing job market. Job security may be decreasing, but opportunities are increasing overall. Options are available in the face of change; it remains only to recognize them, prepare accordingly, and take advantage of them. Doing so means learning to recognize the signs of career stagnation and potential obsolescence, becoming aware of alternatives, and recognizing that security, if such exists, now resides in adaptability.
