Looking for a Job: Competition

When you are looking for a job, are you checking out your current companies competition?

Think about it - I used to work for Citibank.  When I started looking for a job, the first place I looked was at other banks.

Bank of America
Wells Fargo
Ally
BBVA Compass, etc

The same holds true with Healthcare, Retail, Construction, and many other industries.

Whatever industry you are in, look at other companies.  They generally require the same skill sets that your current employer does.

My ex-husband started out as a sheet metal mechanic and now does CAD programming.  He can move from industries such as construction to fabrication, etc.
