Looking into the second decade of the 21st century, we can begin to discern the new emerging economy which is taking shape and which is rising like phoenix on the ashes of the economy left behind by the previous right of the center administration. It is a global economy, establishing itself in a climate of diminishing importance of long-establish national boundaries. It is the economy which embraces the new generation of progressive leaders who are in touch with the 21st century world and its technology as the old guard bureaucrats, politicians, military leaders and corporate business executives are relegated to the background. As many traditional and now obsolete industries continue to decline, along with their outmoded and outdated management styles and systems, new rules are emerging along with the new economy. We discuss those which we consider to be pivotal in 21st Century Jobs book.

Networking or "you know more people than you think!"

Effective networking rests on knowing and being interested in people and in their lives. True networks consist of individuals with some common experiences,shared values and knowledge f each other's abilities. Real , functional networks are made of people who care about each other, and are willing to help and be helped in their lives. Such networks are precious and should not be misused by careless people who are just looking for a job, with no intention of reciprocating the favors gained from the network.
Practically speaking, more people you know, the more jobs you will hear about (especially the great majority of jobs, which are never advertised publicly.)
