This past week I read about how three Nigerian Banks laid off staff. In all, over 350 persons were laid off. The latest being just a few days before the new year. Its sad how these employees have to manage through the abrupt depression they find themselves.
Technological advancement will continue to make job elimination as well as organizations downsizing a common trend. Armed with such information, career minded persons must brace up to this challenge as no one knows who's next. Faced with such reality, forced to find a new employment, workers next ask " what else am I qualified to do?".
Good news is, through your present career you are learning and using skills which can come handy to you again. Now is the time to identify such skills and groom them even more. They would come as assets shortly if you decide to even become self employed too. The skills include communication and writing skills, computer skills, as well as management experience.
Are you trying to build these and many more skills that you would transfer when it becomes needful?
Nice
