A Bailout Plan for your Career
Gas prices, home foreclosures, bank failures, 700M bailout plan, what’s next? In uncertain times like these our emotions tell us to get out of the game. Buy high, sell low? On the contrary, finance expert Suze Orman is urging us to contribute more to our retirement plans and 401k’s (provided you’re not within a few years of retirement) because lower stock prices mean we can buy stock for less. Real estate mogul Donald Trump is emploring us to invest in real estate for the first time in 10 years! Buy low, sell high.
So, how does this relate to your career?
A recent blog by Seth Godin suggests that these uncertain times make for less competition for jobs and business opportunities. I agree. This is an opportunity to take your career to the next level. If you’ve been contemplating a jump from programmer to project manager, now might be a good time. You’ll probably face less competition. Why not help out with proposal and marketing efforts? Your efforts will be appreciated now more than ever because your company’s chances of winning the work is higher.
Join an exciting small business where you can capitalize on this rare opportunity to catapult your career.
