|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Time to Job Hunt? Blaine McCartney, Photographer Columbus | NE | USA | Posted: 5:18 PM on 08.05.09 ->> We've had a few layoffs recently and just yesterday, our publisher is now stepping down at our small daily. I haven't been too serious in looking to move on at the moment, but the latest news here is making me uneasy. Should I start getting serious about moving on, knowing the job market sucks, or just sit tight and weather the economic storm? What would you do?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Get your resume/portfolio updated now so you don't have to spend time on it later. Start looking at availabilities and keep your ears open.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you want to stay in this business, you better learn at least one or two other jobs in the newsroom. Your marketability will rise. If you are just a photographer, chances are a reporter and point and shoot will replace you in the near future, especially at a small daily.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

That said I agree with the others...Dan.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
