The main problem is the loss of large outstanding payroll. Specialists in the field of journalism was among those who, to the maximum extent aware of all the negativity of the situation. But experts on job search are encouraged to change despair to the package of measures that will help to get out of financial deadlock and creative stagnation.
Step 1. To adjust the perception of reality.
Especially advised to reconsider their attitude to the current situation. “Loss of jobs” in their own perception of reality is replaced by “time, the possibility to change the activity”. Contemporary work in the field of journalism moves from periodicals on paper in activity on the Internet. Active journalists are creating their own websites, blogs, rating social networks or offer their work for online publications as a freelance journalist.
Step 2. “Modernize” the vision of the profession.

Proofreader, editor. Such vacancies occur on the sites for employment, for example, Jobsora, but they are mainly in the Metropolitan regions and do not consider remote employment.
Work in television and radio companies can accrue to those who master progressive program of video editing / sound, layout of a magazine / newspaper. The proposal of this work can be found on the portals for job search and on the websites of TV and radio companies.
Professional photographers will develop a private practice, creating photographs for private orders, participating in ad hoc projects, various publications, becoming employees of international companies-importers of goods to the Russian market.

Step 3. To be the annual retreat, to take off.
Job finds one who wants to work. This year showed that success in employment comes to those who are willing to change, to expand their functional range, to continuously learn and master new skills. Experts recommend to consider all proposals received not only from the point of view of today, but also with an eye to the future. Perhaps now the employer can offer 30% less than the expected income, but it definitely should specify term financial growth: increase of salary, the payment of premiums or bonuses.
If the employer is offering a substantial compensation package (medical insurance, paying for meals, compensation for use of own car or provision of official transport, tuition), it is necessary to monetize the proposed benefits and add them to an expected financial income. So will not miss a really good offer.
