COVER STORY
Online Extra: Table of Projected Job Openings, 2004-2014
Health care is hot, but it's not the only game in town if you are looking to choose a career. Here is a
list of selected professions that someone with a postsecondary education might consider, ranked by
the number of projected job openings from 2004 to 2014. These statistics are drawn from labor-
market projections by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in November, 2005. (For more, see
www.bls.gov/emp/home.htm.)
Nurses are at the top of the list, with 1.2 million projected openings in the decade, both from growth
in the profession and the need to replace nurses who are retiring or moving into other lines of work.
The number of projected openings for doctors is about equal to the number for lawyers and social
scientists, good news for those of you who always wanted to go to med school.
But what is especially striking about this list is the sheer number of teachers who will be needed in
the coming years, at every level. Health care may be the wave of the future, but education isn't far
behind.
Openings from growth and net replacements,
2004-2014 (thousands)

Getting in the Game
You can't throw a 98-mile-per-hour fastball. You can't sink a putt from 30 feet. Your backhand
isn't even that good. But you can have a career in sports.
By STEFAN FATSIS and PETER KEATING
At National Football League headquarters in New York these days, it's hard to find a senior executive
with much experience in, well, football.
The NFL's finance chief used to work for Goldman Sachs. Its top two marketing executives were at
General Motors and IBM. Its lead television negotiator ran sports for ABC and ESPN. The chief
operating officer of its cable network handled finance for NBC's West Coast entertainment division.
The head of its international division was a marketing executive for the liquor company Diageo.
Once the playground of family dynasties, ex-athletes and determined fans, the sports business has
grown up. The sheer number of jobs in the industry, and connected to it, has surged. And today jobs
in sports are less about analyzing box scores than creating brands, running spreadsheets and
serving customers. As the NFL's leadership lineup shows, sports has become a target destination for
marketers, accountants, lawyers, salespeople and other executives with skills honed in other
industries.
"Our fans are bombarded by ways to entertain themselves," says Nancy Gill, the NFL's vice
president of human resources. "We need to be able to have people who are familiar with that space
in a way we didn't several years ago."
David Stern, commissioner of the National Basketball Association, adds: "If you can do it at a major
entertainment company or major consumer-products company, it likely has a counterpart in our
industry."
As sports has grown into big business, the teams and leagues have gotten serious about how they
find off-field talent. In the 1980s, it was unheard of for sports organizations to use headhunters, and
even a decade ago one of the main entry points into the business was personal contact. "You knew a
guy who knew a guy whose father was with the Braves," says Michele James, founder of James &
Co., a search firm that has worked with major professional sports leagues. Happenchance was
another. Detroit Tigers President David Dombrowski got his first job in baseball in 1977 after bumping
into a team executive during the sport's winter meetings in Hawaii. "There couldn't have been more
than 15 job seekers there," Mr. Dombrowski says.
From ExecuNet
Moving New Senior Leaders Through Five Stages of Organizational Integration
The challenge of senior-management recruiting lies not only in matching the best fitting executive
candidate to the job opportunity, but also recruiting those who will stand the test of their integration
into the organizational fabric over time.
Whether it's setting the stage for a meaningful entry, getting off on the right foot during the
"honeymoon period," or adjusting to what they learn about their employer down the road, new
executive recruits share the responsibility for integrating into the organization. That's according to Dr.
Rebecca Schalm, a senior consultant with RHR International in Toronto, who shared her perspectives
with ExecuNet's RecruitSmart Today during a recent web event.
Schalm says there are four formal stages of executive integration - the honeymoon (first three
months after hire), the reality (four to six months), the adjustment phase (seven to 12 months) and
integration (13-18 months). But the moves a new executive hire makes in the preparation process
(usually during the four weeks before they actually start in the new executive role) constitute a fifth
and equally important key to integration success.
"The stakes are high and there aren't second chances," Schalm says, citing role clarification,
identifying key relationships and identifying early wins as key objectives during the honeymoon
phase of an executive's tenure with a new employer.
The executive will gather a lot of important cues and intelligence about how the business operates
during their first six months, and the key to adjusting to that reality lies in learning the nuances of the
organization, and that's often when critical insights begin to emerge. That lets the executive pair their
experience with what they've learned to begin to really demonstrate their abilities during the
integration phase of their development.
"The integration process is usually completed within the first 12 to 18 months," Schalm says.

JMC Job Search Tips (Simple Things pt 39…)

Seasonal Change…
As Autumn swings into full effect with the changing leaves and cooler temperatures, it’s
time to also adjust search parameters. Unlike the Summer months when it was more
difficult to catch networking targets due to vacations and other warm weather activities,
there’s a much better opportunity to make contact as they return to a more stationary
existence. That should also necessitate adjusting the job seeker schedule. Time to kick
the search process back into high gear and to expect a higher rate of success in
networking efforts. This is one of the peak hiring times running from September through
early November so it pays to ramp up the activity levels to take maximum advantage…
