Top Ten Jobs that the Recession hasn’t hit yet

Recession-proof careers
The Idiots Guide to Recession-proof Careers

Just like everyone else, Web Watch knows lots of people who have been affected by this recession. Some of those have been out of work for over three years now, and their career prospects are not looking up.

It’s not their fault necessarily, it could just be that the career path they chose may not be the best ones to make it through a recession in the long haul.  Maybe it’s time to switch careers.

But if you do decide to make a switch, what should you switch to?  Well, here’s a list of 10 RECESSION-PROOF JOBS that you may want to consider:

What to wear to a job interview (and some things not to wear)

A Crash Course in Finding, Landing, and Keeping Your First Real Job

Not everyone knows what to wear to a job interview.

Yeah, the traditional suit should still work, but in today’s wacky world of “business casual” or “jeans Fridays”, the potential job seeker sometimes chooses the wrong outfits to appear at the potential future office with.

The good interviewer will share what the usual “around the office” dress code is, but that doesn’t mean that the applicant should show up in the same type of clothes in order to fit in. You don’t have the job yet, Bucko, so leave the flip-flops at home.  Flip-flops don’t belong in the office anyway.

So what should the applicant wear?  Well, you can never go wrong with a suit — unless you know ahead of time that the office is a bit more casual, in which case go with some nice slacks and dress shirt (but lose the tie).

How to get a raise from your boss: just be a jerk

I Hate People!: Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work and Get What You Want Out of Your Job
I Hate People!: Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work
and Get What You Want Out of Your Job

Everybody knows an office jerk.

They’re the ones who yell, scream, pound the table — and in general, make the office a bit miserable for everyone. They may be absolutely fantastic at their job, but that doesn’t mean that people have to like working with them.

Here’s another reason to hate them: they’re probably making more money than you, for doing the exact same thing you’re doing.

So why is that?

Are you super fat? You can make $90,000 a year by doing practically nothing

What one pound of fat looks like

Being fat isn’t necessarily good for you.

But Donna Simpson made it work for her.

How?  Donna Simpson was the Guinness World Record holder for “World’s Heaviest Mother” and clocked in at 600 lbs on her 5’2″ frame.

Yeah, that’s a lot of woman.  And we’re sure that Web Watch readers are asking the same thing — when you weigh 600lbs, what can you do to earn a living? It certainly can’t be easy manuevering around a workplace when you’re that big.

Well, you could do what Donna did.

Thought that would get your attention.

But apparently, “manopause” – the male version of menopause – is no laughing matter.  Especially when the official name is “andropause“.  It is caused by lower testosterone levels as men get older.

According to the book Penis Problems: A Men’s Guide, there are three distinctive changes that men may notice in their Frank and Beans as they get older.  Two of them are:

Here’s why nobody wants to look at your vacation photos

How to Take Great Vacation Photographs
How to Take Great Vacation Photographs

Web Watch, like many of you, loves to take vacation photos.  We all do it, in part, as a way to remember where we’ve been and seen, but also to capture those moments that we can later reflect upon as being relaxing, happy times with special someones.

Of course, as we review our own vacation photos, they mainly end up being about the food we ate rather than the places we went. C’est la vie.
