Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal featured a very timely article about people looking for a job who are finding success by switching careers to completely different, yet related fields.

The article outlines some good advice for those who are looking for a new job…as I know some of my readers are.

It talks about how to take your skills and connections from a shaky job in a declining industry, and translate them to a great job in a growing industry.

Can you see the correlation between…

• Systems engineer to salesman?
• Real estate agent to client service manager?
• Car salesman to heavy equipment rep?
• Information technology to gas pump ad sales?

One more thing…this article features my uncle Korey Reid as one of the examples. I can’t BELIEVE he got quoted in the Wall Street Journal before I did! I’m jealous, but very proud of him.
