Increase Your Job Security

Hello Everyone,

Fellow employees are falling like flies in the midst of a corporate downsizing. You love your job and want to make sure you'll keep it. You can take out an insurance policy for job security.

?- Choose a job in an occupation where rapid growth is projected in the coming years.

?- Go to work for a smaller company. Financial adversity is less likely to trigger layoffs in a mom-and-pop shop than in a corporate behemoth.

?- Become the best at what you do, and indispensable.

?- Be seen as a team player who seeks to promote the company more than yourself. Be willing to move laterally as well as vertically to benefit the firm.

?- Work for the unit in your company that contributes the most to the bottom line or is most vital to the company's mission.

?- Make your unit more successful and therefore more vital to the company.

?- Find out what's hot in your field and become an expert at it. Stay on top of new developments.

?- Find out what's important to the CEO and become the most reliable supplier of it. Recommend cost-saving or income producing measures.

?- Work for a powerful and respected boss who is not likely to receive the largest staffing hits.

?- Make your boss look good—continually.

?- Make no enemies. A scorned coworker might be in a position someday to engineer your demise.

?- Be a good friend. A close colleague might be in the position to give higher-ups an opinion of your value to the firm.
