Specializing A Field Increases Your Chances To Be Hired

September 7th, 2010

Industry and job market is evolving faster. With the recession and competition in the job market today, employers are very choosy and wish to recruit those who have the exact matching skills suited to the job requirement. Unlike yester years, education and industry specific training becomes important in preparing candidates to increase their employability.

Addiction treatment industry hires people in large numbers. There is intense competition in the industry. Another notable feature is that they are very cost conscious and watchful of the cost as well as numbers they employ.

Quite a few treatment centers place higher emphasis on people who have been addicts earlier and have cured themselves. The centers believe that these people can understand the customer’s needs and respond better than the others. But then does it mean that these people fit the bill in terms of other requirements and qualifications? Not necessarily.

The centers believe that the former addicts have not only gone through the painful experience of living on streets and not knowing what is happening. They would have also undergone addiction treatments and post addiction rehab education which gives them sufficient exposure and mastery of the subject. Their experience also motivates them to work harder and be successful in their jobs.

Those who have come out of addiction are often broke and may not be able to fund their education. Though the basic education in this field may not be expensive, advanced training will cost a lot and these guys may not even have a good credit rating or down payment required to finance their education.

Most of the states have local and federal sponsored programs and trainings that are free of cost for former addicts to help them get back on their feet. These programs can really help them get the desired qualification and skill sets to be able to land suitable jobs.

So it is worthwhile to consider taking up one or two years of studies to specialize in this field and take up a rewarding career with the fast growing de addiction industry. Your education may not cost you a lot but will pay you quite well and more importantly your job satisfaction can be high.
