Blog Post: In The Worsening Recession- It's Time For San Diego To Help Itself

If you're waiting for the Obama dollars to trickle down to your bank account, or a brand new factory to open down the street and hire you, you'll probably wait a long time.

I know and you know-- if you're looking for opportunity, you're going to have to go out there and get it. With record numbers of applicants after the few real jobs, you've got to start looking in some different places- and finding new ways for opportunities to find you.

If you're looking for an opportunity, The San Diego Recession Help Expo might be the place for you. The all-day free Recession Outreach event includes more than just a job fair. The Holiday Inn On the Bay will host nothing short of a complete economic makeover, from resume screening, career counseling, advanced job search techniques and recruiting-- all of the typical job fair components-- to small business opportunities, financing, franchising, venturing, networking and business repair. 15 categories of useful offerings will be presented that address the kinds of things people need in a recession. From food stamps and job searching to mortgage workouts, home sustainability and low cost retirement options- The Recession Help Expo has it all. There will be business people, entrepreneurs an creative innovators here you should meet- who are also looking for new ways to survive and thrive and to change their value proposition to adapt to the macro economic trends affecting us all.

If that's not enough to spark your curiosity, you might be interested in some old school attitude adjustment from the likes of World Success Motivator and key note speakers Brian Tracy, and Business CEO guru Lanny Goodman, among many others who will be offering 32 free workshops all day long- just to help you.

There will be many business people- who have jobs, showing up to see these speakers and exhibitors as well- bring your business cards, a few resumes, and your networking skills. You might want to practice conversation openers like "So how is your organization adapting to these challenging times?" (and how can I help you do that?)

At The Recession Help Expo you literally be part of the birth of a new industry- the strange amalgamation of useful businesses, services and professionals that make up what is left of a relevant economy. If you understand what these categories are you might be one of the few who recognize the coming trends, catch the wave and make something good happen for yourself and your family.

Alternatively, you can just come and sample the in-depth workshops and speakers, hear some great live music, bring your kids down to the Star of India for free, and enjoy the beautiful downtown Embarcadero on a sunny San Diego Sunday. The purpose is to have you get some recession help and leave in better shape than how you arrived. Bring a picnic lunch, something to take notes and stay all day. It's all for you and it's all free. Doors open at 8:30am.
