[J50]Job For Security Guard

by Paul M. Jerard Jr., Pau

There is a growing need for more Chair Yoga teachers.
Education about the mental and physical benefits of Yoga has spread like ?wild fire? in the past couple of decades; but what about the needs of those who are not so young and limber? In some parts of the world, the number of seniors will outweigh the working population. Italy, the United
States, and the rest of Europe, will see senior populations grow rapidly.

Within the United States, every seven seconds, someone turns 50 years of age. In 20 years, the number of people over 65 is projected to be over 60 million. ?The writing is on the wall,? and there are many opportunities for Yoga teachers, senior fitness specialists, and health care professionals.

Although government bureaucrats will not adjust for massive senior health care needs, until it is too late, that doesn't mean you can't do something about it. If you are currently a Yoga teacher, you should learn everything you can about Chair Yoga. Continuing education is a big part of teaching, so you want to learn about senior fitness, anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, modifications, props, and contraindications.

If you are a Yoga student, who wants to teach seniors, you should learn everything you can, and get involved in a Yoga
Teacher Training program. Chair Yoga teachers should have a solid foundation in Yoga and/or be familiar with the physical abilities of seniors.

Physical therapists, and senior fitness specialists, could easily learn Chair Yoga concepts, as well. However, you must be honest with yourself in regard to patience and compassion. This type of class is not for the instructor who just wants to do his, or her, ?workout.?

Sure you can demonstrate, but you must also assist, modify, and cue those who cannot always hear so well. Therefore, patience, compassion, and safety, are of prime importance.

This is a direction of employment that could lead to 30 years of job security. Currently, I have been training local Yoga teachers, so they can work with seniors in the Providence area. The reason: As I have said before, ?The demand for Yoga is far beyond what any one of us can do.?

Think about the cost of medical services, prescriptions, and physical therapy. Then, consider the cost of Yoga instruction. This is a ?no-brainer,? but don't expect to see a big change right away. Nevertheless, senior centers, assisted living complexes, and nursing homes have already caught onto the fact that Yoga is cost effective preventative medicine.

This proactive mind-set has also infiltrated the medical community. It is not uncommon for Yoga studios to get medical referrals. Medical professionals have so many patients that they are advising many prevention methods, and Yoga is one of them.

Do you think all of the Chair Yoga classes will be in senior facilities, 20 years from now? My bet is some of these classes will be in ?top name? fitness centers. The fitness industry will not want to miss the opportunity to tap into a 60 million plus membership market, that will visit them during ?off peak? hours.

Therefore, look for Chair Yoga and senior fitness to explode, in popularity, for the next two or three decades.
This age group will be looking at Yoga for longevity, so it won't be anything close to a ?fad.?

These days, economists are having a difficult time agreeing on the current state of the economy. Some claim we are in a recession, and others say we are not there yet. Either way, with large companies, many of them Fortune 500, announcing big layoffs or totally shutting down factories and closing stores, it may be a good time to start thinking about recession-proofing your job.

You may be lucky enough to already be in a job that is considered a necessity regardless of the state of the economy. Those jobs are associated with the following occupations:

•Education: Teaching jobs do not seem to suffer during hard times, although the location does play a factor, such as larger cities are more stable than smaller towns and rural areas.
•Health Care: Regardless of economic times people still need to look after their health care needs. In fact, this field of work is among one of the fastest growing occupations with everything from nurses to medical transcriptionists.
•Environmental and energy: With fears of global warming and people working to save the environment, these jobs are in high demand. Work in finding viable alternative sources of energy and implementing them will assure you a stable job.
•Security/Policing: Unfortunately crime does not take a cutback because of a recession. In fact, it may actually be a factor in an increase in crime and thus a need for more security or police personnel.

As for the rest of the population who do not work in these fields, they need to find ways to make their job last through the tough times, or prepare to look at the possibility of starting a new career before they are forced to do so. Below are a few ideas to boost your job security by helping to make your company see you as indispensable and your job therefore more recession-proof.

1)During the economic downturn, each business will be looking for ways to cut costs, so be sure to jump on the bandwagon and help find ways to pinch those elusive pennies or find cheap sources for new revenue.
2)Forget about taking a long vacation. If you leave for a two week vacation, the boss may see that you are not really missed and as a result you may come home to an eliminated position. It is also not a good time to stroll leisurely into the office. Be on time!
3)If you are in sales, then try finding ways to boost your sales even if only by a small margin. No one is going to lay-off their top sales person. Also go a step beyond your job description by doing a few little added extras to show you are interested in where you work and what you are doing. A show of incentive makes even the toughest boss happier.
4)Be careful not to get a reputation as someone that does only what you are told. Volunteer for crucial deadlines and tasks that directly help free up more time for the boss. Be sure you have skills that the company will see as vital assets.
5)Update any skills you have or go back to school or take evening classes. The more training you have, the more valuable you will prove to be to the company.
6)Help keep company/office morale up. During times of layoffs and cutbacks, morale can drop as employees worry and fret about their job security. Try to keep a positive spin on any situation. No one wants to hear their co-workers whining about how terrible things are, or are going to be.

Following these simple suggestions may be the saving grace during the lean times that could be coming. Of course, it never hurts to update your resume and have a copy on hand. Another wise move is to never stop networking. Keeping in touch with colleagues you have dealt with over the years may pay off if you do get laid off. They may hold the key to a golden opportunity and by keeping in touch you will have advantage over the average person coming in to apply for the same position.

Whatever happens in the months to come, be sure to give your best possible efforts in your work environment to assure your job security.
