Defense
Hits the Fast Track
By:
Christine Hirsch
|
|
The defense
industry is on the rebound, with a new wave of business
opportunities and an influx of skilled workers looking
for stable and patriotic employment. Homeland security,
missile defense, and new information technologies
are among the initiatives bringing new money and new
programs to defense contractors. Commercial companies
with defense accounts also stand to benefit by providing
software, hardware, supplies, and gear to government
clients more eager than ever to procure commercial
products and technologies.
The top
five defense contractors -- Lockheed Martin, Boeing,
Newport News, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman -- are
industry leaders involved with most of the major programs.
However, companies such as Veridian, Titan, and SAIC
have grown rapidly in the past few years by focusing
on critical problems and providing aggressive, commercial
business practices. The list
of top defense contractors also contains large
commercial companies such as AT&T, GE, Motorola and
Humana, companies that provide the broad range of
services necessary to run the largest military in
the world.

Adjusting to a SLOW Job Market
By Bill Radin
|
|
Did the boom
economy of the late 1990s produce a generation of recruiters
so dependent on plentiful, ready-made placements that they
would starve if the silver spoon were removed? Based on
my experience from the early 1990s recession, I would think
not.
Despite cycles
of fitful economic conditions, there’s always business out
there—if you know how to find and cultivate it. While others
are struggling (or leaving the recruiting world altogether),
here are some recessionary survival tips to remember.
