It seems like every time you turn on the news these days, you hear about more and more people getting laid off permanently from their jobs. Many people had worked at their place of employment for many years, but that didn't matter. The bad economy has made their jobs disappear overnight.
This is pretty scary for most people - especially women. If you're currently looking for recession proof jobs for women, the fact is, there are some careers that are indeed recession proof. That's the good news.
The bad news is that you may not be currently qualified to do any of them, due to lack of training and experience.
Here's a quick list of some recession proof jobs:
Accountant
Administrative Assistant
Customer Service Representative
Fast Food Worker
Financial Analyst
Health Aid
Nurse
Pharmacy Technician
Police Officer
Public Relations Specialist
School Teacher
Waitress
If you already have experience in one of these fields, then you are ahead of the game. However, is you have no experience, then you'll have to plan on getting some professional training before you can qualify for an entry level position.
The only two on the list that don't require any specialized training is Fast Food Worker and Waitress. Both of these jobs, however, require staying on your feet for hours, dealing with the public in a rushed situation and accepting lower pay.
There's another alternative for women who want to have more control over how they earn a living - starting a home-based business. Maybe this is something you have considered, but didn't think you could make work, or you ran across too many scam opportunities.
You'll be happy to know that there are legitimate ways to make a decent income at home, while providing products to people who want them. Running a small business from your home can be both, personally and financially rewarding.
However, it's sometimes difficult to cut through the clutter of scammy information to find viable businesses that are workable. Fortunately, there are some honest resources online that give you real options for legitimate recession proof work.
