There is no denying it, it’s all over the news now and no one in perfect judgment can ignore reality: recession is here, countries do bankrupt and companies all around the world will be in trouble and letting people go because of it – or, simply, taking the excuse to make a profit from not having to pay as much as usual in salaries…
The bottom line is: the ones that need a job to bring food home and pay their bills are the ones that ultimately suffer. All of the sudden there will be thousands, millions of qualified professionals as well as others less skilled, looking for the same: a job, or a income. It’s, more than a financial crisis, a job crisis.
Personally, I went through three major recessions and at least as many job “crisis” thase sent me strugling for survival. That, in the last 20 years.
Did it make me stronger? Yes. I feel much more confident and prepared.
Did it make me ready for future crisis? NO, no new recession brings exactly the same problems neither will it flow exactly the same way.
Can I give advise about it? LOL! I certainly can, but there will never be guaranties that ANY advise will work, only common sense, effort and a lot of preserverance, as usual. Well, at least in my experience that is so, and that’s just what I can share here: my thoughts and experience.
- I read somewhere that the word for Crisis is the same as for Opportunity, in Chinese…
When a job crisis hits you, you have the opportunity to… well, first, not to let yourself fall irrevocably!
