Job Security is a MYTH!

Job security is a myth! For every position that you’re in, you should have a viable exit strategy.

Whether you feel like your company may be on the rocks and layoffs may be coming in the future, or if you’re already laid off, prepare to efficiently build your plan for future employment.

DO NOT WAIT until you are laid off!

If you’re not sure what you want to do next then you’ll have a lot of research to do. You’ll need to know your short list of companies that you want to work with and a few different job, profiles or job descriptions that you feel suit you and your experience.

Once you have those two things you can begin.

For you to win out over other candidates, you’ll need to position yourself as a top employee. That means brushing up on your skills and making sure that you are current on what’s going on in your industry. There’s no better way to prove that than to write about it on LinkedIn.

If you want to recession-proof, your entire career, you’ll need to connect with and engage with people who are in a position to make a job offer.

Begin to build a tighter network in your respective industry, and think more about the quality, and not only the quantity in your industry.

Focus more on people who will actually engage with you on LinkedIn rather than people who don’t check their messages and whose profile seems out of date. When you come across these dusty profiles but you know the person is a decision maker, you’ll need to network with people closest to them, including their team. This is where the strategy of getting your tribe to drop your résumé on the desk of a decision-maker is so powerful.??

Until you have a few people in your network that you know are interested in you as a candidate, and that you are one of the top people in their pipeline (another word for a group of people that the hiring manager is interested in potentially hiring), you’ll continue to expand your network, using automation and focus specifically on building relationships.

Mindset is EVERYTHING. You are a powerhouse, go get it!!!

Here's something that really put my head on straight and helped me wrangle emotions in and outside of the job search process.
