Macon Resources, Inc. is anon-profit agency that providescomprehensive services thatpromote growth and independencein children and adults withdisabilities. From food service toentry level management positionsto manufacturing, MaconResources regularly assistsindividuals with disabilities infinding and holding down a long-term job.

“The whole goal of ourprogram is to find long-termemployment opportunities forpeople with disabilities,” said

Robert Brice, lead communityemployment specialist at MaconResources. “We service peoplewith a variety of different abilitiesor disabilities – it could bephysical, a mental illness, or acognitive learning disability.”

All of the clients at MaconResources are referred by thelocal office of the IllinoisDepartment of Human Services’division of rehabilitation services.Once referred, a client goesthrough an orientation, and staffwork with the individual to learnabout abilities, goals and workinterest and past history, Bricesaid.

“What’s cool about theprogram is that we tailor theprogram to fit that person’sneeds,” he said. “We could have aguy with a master’s degree who

has a mental illness but nowthings are going much better forhim, and he’ll have differentneeds than a person with learningdisabilities with a high schooldegree.”

Services are as much gearedtoward job retention as jobplacement, if not more, Bricesaid. Macon Resources maintainsmonthly verbal communicationwith an employer after anindividual begins a job there, andemployers fill out work areaassessments to evaluate anemployee’s performance.

“The Road to a Fully Prepared Workforce”


For many of thenation's youngerunemployed

workers, such wonderingcommonly led tofurthering their education.However, middle-agedworkers who foundthemselves the victim oflayoffs widely chose toseek a career change.Those considering such achange should know itwon't be easy, but it couldprove rewarding anddoesn't have to be asdifficult as it seems.

• Consult a professional.Much like a recent collegegrad discusses his career

plans with a guidancecounselor or alumnirepresentative, an adultconsidering a careerchange should consult aprofessional, be it anemployment placementspecialist or someone whoworks in the field youdesire to enter, whenbeginning a job search. Aprofessional can providean accurate portrayal ofthe field and give adviceor tips as to how best toget your foot in the door.

• Do a self-examination.Arguably the biggestbright spot of getting laidoff is the chance to do

some self-examination asto what it is you liked,disliked or both about yourold position. Too oftenworkers get caught up inthe commitments thatcome with being an adultand ignore whether or notthey're happy with theirjob. But a layoff allowstime for a careful self-examination, one thatshould allow you thechance to avoid findingyourself in an unfulfillingcareer that only pays thebills.

• Get organized. Finding ajob isn't easy. Finding onein an economic climate

rife with layoffs is evenless so. Have an organizedplan of action, including adaily commitment tolearning about your newfield. Treat the time offnot as a chance tocompletely relax, but achance to research yournew field, find out what ittakes to succeed anddevote daily time each dayto looking for work.

• Explore freelanceopportunities. A resumewith large chunks of timewhere you didn't work isnever attractive.Successfully transitioningto a new career might

require you do some workfor free. Oftentimes, eventhe most successfulfreelancers spend largechunks of time doing workthey're not going to bepaid for. That's a part offreelancing. However,staying active, even ifyou're not getting paid, isa good way to show you'reserious and committed toyour new field. •

DECATUR – Whilepredictions stand that theU.S. economy has begunto rebound, the job marketfor many in central Illinoisstill looks bleak.

But one field thatseems to continually behiring, regardless of thejob market nation-wide, ishealth care.

Natalie Clark,recruiter for DecaturMemorial Hospital, saidthat the hospital regularlyattends community jobfairs.

“We like to have apresence in thecommunity as well as weare one of largestemployers and have

several job vacancies. Sowe want to be out there forany applicants that wantto come to DMH,” shesaid.

Nursing is one healthcare field that isexperiencing exponentialgrowth and continuingneed, and nurses in allspecialties will be indemand in the future,according to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics.Other areas in health carethat are in demandinclude pharmacy,rehabilitation therapy andoccupational therapy,Clark said.

“The demand (forthose fields) is larger thanthe supply,” she said.

Clark said she hasfound that many of the

positions that areregularly open at DecaturMemorial Hospital aren’tnecessarily filled at jobfairs because they are sospecialized. However, shenoted that the hospital andother central Illinoishealth care organizationsstill continue to haveopenings in other areas,and she encouraged jobseekers to showcase theirpositive qualities whenattending job fairs.

“We look for someonethat is willing to come towork, dependable,professional,” she said.

Clark said she believesthat most companies arefocusing on onlineapplications and jobpostings, rather thanadvertising in print

publications and acceptingmailed job applications.Because of this, sheencouraged job applicantsto do their research beforejob fairs.

“Be familiar with theorganization, their Website and job openings theyhave so (job seekers) cantake advantage of the time

and can talk with us aboutsomething in particularthey’re interested in,” shesaid.

While the currenteconomy hasinstilled a greater

sense of appreciation inthose who have managedto keep their jobs thisyear, there are still someworkers out there who arechoosing to leave thirpositions. Whether youresign or are let go,leaving a job can be anemotional experience. Youmay be bitter aboutleaving, or maybe you arethrilled. Regardless ofyour emotional state, it'simportant to leave withdignity and grace. Youdon't want to makeenemies on your way outthe door or risk tarnishingthe reputation you've

worked so long to build.Here are some guidelinesfor leaving with your bestfoot forward.

When giving notice,put it in a letter with asimple explanation. Statewhy you are leaving andwhen your last day ofwork will be, giving asmuch notice as possible.(The standard is twoweeks.) Your boss orhuman resourcesdepartment may ask youto participate in an exitinterview, where youverbally express yourreasons for leaving. Behonest and forthright. Theinformation you offercould be used in abeneficial way to the

company.Don't leak the

information that you'releaving to colleaguesbefore you've notified yourboss -- as much as youmay be itching to do so. Itis in poor taste, and couldbe detrimental should thenews spread. Also, don'tbad-mouth the company,even though you'releaving. What you say nowcan hurt your career downthe road. It could hauntyou in other businessventures or hurt yourchances of ever beingemployed by that companyagain. Plus, if you everwant your boss orcolleagues to serve asreferences for you in the

future, they will likely beless than willing to do youthat favor.

As tempted as you maybe to sabotage officeproperty, don't. Deletingcompany files orvandalizing companyproperty will not onlydamage your reputation,and you could wind up in apossible lawsuit or landyourself in jail.

There are also a fewchores that you should dobefore giving your notice:

• Read the employeehandbook and find outwhat benefits you areentitled to when exiting.You might be able to getpaid for any unused

vacation days, or beeligible for continuedmedical insurancecoverage until your newinsurance plan begins.

• Discretely "clean house"before you give notice.Take home any personalproperty and delete anypersonal e-mails or otherfiles from your computer.• Gather importantinformation. Compile aportfolio of your work. Getcontact information forcolleagues, clients, bosses,etc. This way, if you areescorted out the doorimmediately upon givingnotice, you won't bewithout any importantinformation.

Congratulations! You'velanded your first real jobafter school, no small feat

in the current economy. Now it'stime to apply what you've learnedin the classroom and put it togood use in the working world.

But this is the big leaguesnow. Every day, your skills will beput to the test, and supervisorsand other employees will rely onyou. Don't let that scare you,though. Follow these lessons andyou'll have an easy time climbingthe corporate ladder.Lesson #1: Prepare to pay yourdues. Yes, that means you mayhave to go on the occasionalcoffee run, send out a massmailing or file till your fingersbleed. Don't worry -- everyone hasto do it. Seize menial tasks as anopportunity to learn what goes on

behind the scenes or bond withanother "newbie."

Lesson #2: Listen and absorb. Seehow the company does its job.Figure out the chain of commandand what it takes to get thingsdone.

Lesson #3: Dress for the job youwant, not for the job you have. Incollege, you can roll out of bedand head to class in yourpajamas, but that isn't quite thebest wardrobe strategy in theworkplace. Not sure what towear? Stick with conservative andclassic pieces in solid colors. Youcan also use your boss as a modelof how you should dress.

Lesson #4: Avoid office politics.It's guaranteed that the office

gossip will tell you who's datingwhom, or you might hear a fewchoice words about your boss --even on your first day. Sure, it'sfine to store such information inthe back of your head so you canlearn about coworkers'personalities, office dynamics,and who's in a bad mood, butdon't say anything that can beadded to the rumor mill. It's asurefire path to ruining yourreputation.

Lesson #5: Watch what you sayand do. That means you shouldmind your manners. Leaveinappropriate stories and jokesfor your social life. Don't usecompany e-mail to forward jokesor chain letters to friends; do thaton your own time, using your ownpersonal e-mail account.

Lesson #6: Ask questions. You'renew in your position. so don't beafraid to ask questions. It willhelp you understand the company,the hierarchy, and what it takes tomake the company run.

Lesson #7: Find a mentor. Maybeit's someone who has been thereyears or someone who has the jobyou want. Find a person who canshow you the ropes or tell youhow they got started in thebusiness. Some companies even

offer formal mentoring programsthat involve mentor lunches,meetings and more.

Lesson #8: Volunteer forsomething that's not in your jobdescription. Maybe you are anadministrative assistant at anewspaper and the researchdepartment needs help fact-checking a story. Or perhaps thelegal department at yourcompany needs extra hands. Byvolunteering for work beyond thescope of your position, you areshowing that you are willing totake on anything. But just makesure you don't get so swampedthat you can't finish your ownassigned tasks first.

Lesson #9: Do what you are told.If your superior asks you to dosomething, do it -- with a smile.Sounds simple, right? "You'd beamazed at how many others atmy entry level would roll theireyes at doing menial tasks orcomplain about things like gettingcoffee or filing," says MelissaWalker, 28, of Brooklyn, NewYork, about her first job as aneditorial assistant at a now-defunct magazine. "Hey, if youcan't even do those things well(and with a smile), how will youhandle more responsibility?"

9 Ways to Succeed at Your First Job


Few things can shake ahousehold like a layoff.While many of the last

year's were forewarned, thathasn't necessarily made them anyeasier to cope with. Manyfamilies, regardless of how likelya layoff might have been, havestruggled to adjust to the lifestylechanges that a layoff demands.

Fortunately, there are waysfamilies can successfully survivea layoff. Much of that success willbe rooted in devising a financialplan that can carry a familythrough difficult times and keeptheir heads above water untilthose difficult times rebound tohappier days.

BudgetEvery household has bills that

must be paid. These includemortgage payments, rent, carpayments, etc. Those should beatop any household budget.

However, there are items thatcan be eliminated from ahousehold budget that can help

save hundreds of dollars permonth. Cable or satellitetelevision, for example, is not anecessity. While the family mightenjoy the premium channels, theyare a luxury many familiescannot afford when living a post-layoff life. In fact, eliminatingcable or satellite service entirelyis a good first step. Eventually,the family will adjust, and mighteven discover all that televisiontime wasn't what it was crackedup to be anyway.

Eat InDining out has grown

increasingly popular over theyears, as many households nowfeature two working parents,neither of whom feels much likecooking after a long day at theoffice. However, dining out, oreven ordering takeout or deliver,is expensive. Feeding a family offive at a restaurant is going tocost a minimum of $50, and that'sat a bare bones restaurant.However, cooking at home for a

family of five won't costnearly that much, and thequality time spent around thedinner table or in the kitchencan help a family growstronger in tough times.

Ask for HelpNearly everyone has been

forced to cut back onspending this year. Be it ayoung, single professional oran established family manwho hasn't lost his job,cutting back on expenditureshas been the common threadamong Americans over thelast year.

That said, familiesexperiencing a layoff shouldnot be ashamed to ask help,as everyone understands theseare difficult times. While helpmight not be around everycorner, it is there, andfamilies will never knowunless they ask.
