Recession- proof your job

History shows that employers generally stop hiring and start staff during a downturn.

The most recent recession in 1991 and 2001 saw significant job cuts as soon as the recession started. So far, government debt on the job’s market shows that hiring is slowing but many economists believe we’ll see layoffs in the coming month.

So what can you do to recession-proof your job? Our placement firm challenger gray & Christmas makes a few suggestions.

First, find assignments on the company’s core projects. If the effort is central to the firm’s revenue, working there makes you that much safer. Secondly, build a relationship with the boss. Many employees fly under the radar in a time of cutbacks, being more than just and enormous name on the payroll can help keep your job safe. Finally, be prepared. In a downturn, it’s important to have savings ready, should you be laid off and brush up the resume.
