5 things you should do to protect your career in an economic downturn.
1) Re-connect with your network. Call or email everyone you know: old colleagues,friends, family and acquaintances just to touch base and see what they are doing.
2) Critically examine your skill set. Are you unsure of some software programs that are relevant to your field? Take some classes online or at a college or continuing education program.
3) Update your résumé. Have a professional critique it. We offer this as a free service. Just call, email or fax it to us today.
4) Select 20 – 25 target companies in your geographic area and begin to research them – just in case.
