Fired Network is a business networking community that caters to those who have found themselves jobless and may be considering a professional change. Two careers that many people seem to be unaware of are reliability engineering and predictive maintenance. Fired Network is similar to LinkedIn, but the founder, Matthew Pizzi, says the difference between the two is that Fired Network, “revolves around a resource wiki.” There are over 1,500 information items that have been researched and posted by the Fired Network team, and members can add their own resources as well. The site gives free information to its members ranging from head-hunting firms to venture capital firms to graduate school test preparation. A more in depth article can be read at Cheezhead.

Considering that many people do not know anything about the reliability and predictive maintenance fields, this network may be a good opportunity to spread the word about the industries. For the people who are looking to make a career change, having more knowledge on reliability and predictive maintenance careers may provide them with another possible career path. Reliability engineering jobs and predictive maintenance jobs are out there, people just need more knowledge about the industries!
