Are you a professional wondering how to survive the upcoming recession? In this video, I’ll share with you the top 3 tips to help you weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side.
Tip #1: Diversify your skills. In a recession, companies may have to cut their budgets and reduce their workforce. By diversifying your skills and learning new technologies, you’ll make yourself more valuable to employers and increase your chances of staying employed. Talk to your boss and volunteer for that high-visible project, which will enhance your visibility across all the stakeholders.
Tip #2: Build a strong network. Networking is crucial in any industry, but it’s especially important during a recession. Stay in touch with your colleagues, attend industry events, and participate in online communities to build your network and increase your chances of finding new opportunities. Remember to help other folks who got impacted by the lay-offs.
Tip #3: Be financially prepared. It’s important to have a financial cushion to fall back on during a recession. Ensure you have an emergency fund with at least six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses saved up, and avoid taking on too much debt. Consider reducing your expenses and cutting back on non-essential spending to help weather any financial storms.
