I am gratified to have been included in this year's PRWeek Career Guide. I spoke at length with the 
publication about what public relations professionals can do to secure their job during the recession and recovery. Although some of it is PR-specific, a lot of the tips and advice are great for job seekers from any industry. For instance:
Maul: Is changing jobs during this economy advisable?
Karsh: Some HR directors have said it’s actually harder to get people away from their current company with the prevailing thought being, “I have worked at so-and-so for 15 years, so if I leave now and go to [another firm], yeah, it’s a great job and they’re going to give me more money, but I’m the last guy in, could I be the first one out? What if I get there and I don’t click with people?” Honestly, I think it can be a riskier proposition if you’re established at your current company to switch jobs right now. Not to say it’s impossible and not to say that you shouldn’t take chances and risks, but it could be a riskier proposition right now.
