PROVIDENCE, RI / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / Browning Associates Reviews: According to John Seraichyk, Founder Browning Associates, an executive career consulting firm in Providence, Rhode Island, many professionals and executives must consider the reality and possibility of making a complete career change.
The COVID pandemic has obviously disrupted labor markets globally. The short-term consequences were unexpected and often critical: Millions of people were furloughed or lost jobs, and others rapidly adjusted to working from home as offices closed. Many other workers were deemed indispensable and continued to work, yet under new protocols, to decrease the spread of the coronavirus. Nevertheless, although many remain employed, the pandemic continues to hollow out multiple industry sectors, and thus many may not ever return to their former occupations.
There are seasons when a crisis sparks a sweeping transformation in the way that America does business. One of those epoch-shifting times when people are forced to take note of a situation they might not have questioned before, only to realize it has to change. Moreover, sometimes it's a matter of an industry vertical just needing that pressure to take steps toward the future that might otherwise have dragged on for years. Notwithstanding, a significant crisis can often spark major changes in the economy, and thus far, it appears the coronavirus pandemic won't be any different.
Across the country, many businesses are in the process of learning a lot about their supply chains, their products, their workforce, and perhaps most of all, just how crucial it can be to have an infrastructure in place for remote work. As the coronavirus has redefined the 2020/2021 business year across the U.S., it's also driving forward changes for industries everywhere. According to Seraichyk, some industry verticals such as Agriculture, Air Travel, Events, Amusements, Casinos, Cruise lines, Clerical, Film, Tv Production, etc. will never be the same. Those who have worked in these industry sectors may need to start thinking about transferable skill sets and how their talents might transfer to other industries.
For example, Browning Associates worked with a former commercial airline pilot, who is now exploring opportunities at FedEx or UPS Air. Another who has worked in cruise lines has learned his skill set is also transferable to any of the hospitality sector or even rehabilitation centers and assisted living facilities. In times of significant industry transformation, professionals must realize they are a commodity and learn to repackage and promote their brand to new potential buyers(employers.)
