Crystal Ball Gazing
In a spirit of fun, Bridging Futures founders recently peered into the crystal ball of business futures and make a couple of predictions.
WORK N SEARCH in the World of Speedy Employment-Layoff Cycles by Anna Carroll
In the first future vision there is a Coming Soon announcement.
Combo Temp Agency, co-working space, training center and employment agency. Beautiful open space work environment for people between jobs. Lounge environment with work-friendly ambient music. In one corner is the Work Shop, where you see a desk or counter and “work leader.” There you pick up a paid work assignment that matches your skills, for an hourly amount that’s not as good as a full-time job but better than sitting home being unemployed. Data entry, customer interviewing, web design, proofreading, financial tracking and many other assignments are available. You can do your paid work around a table with others who may be talking, sit alone with your computer in the coffee area, or take it home. Company contract managers may actually come in part time or co-locate there to get work done flexibly and at a bargain rate. You leave Work N Search with a pay check.
In another corner is the Employment Shop where you can search job postings, get help with resume or prepare for interviews. In the Learning Shop, there are regular classes on commonly used software, technical or management skills in greatest demand.
Most appealing is great coffee, lighting, design, colors, furniture, music and design elements that keep you comfy, happy, and feeling connected. Internet connectivity is of course easy and fast and printing, copying, and faxing readily available. You even have co-workers to tease and gossip with. You may decide to stay here several years!
