I delivered a seminar at Lee Hecht Harrison this week to a group of highly talented laid off Sales and Marketing professionals. We went around the room and discussed what the word "job security" meant. Each person in the room had a slightly different definition of "job security". For most, their security would come from factors outside of themselves. Topics that came up were issues in their company, trends in their industry, the national economy, the global economy.
Here is the "new" definition of job security: JOB SECURITY IS YOUR ABILITY TO SECURE A JOB! Do you know how to do that in this economy?
There is no more job security. Your security comes from creating a brand and promoting it.
You can not be a "job seeker" any more. You MUST become a highly sought after SOLUTIONS provider. Do you know how to do that?
Tell me how you are ensuring YOUR job security so I can help others!

Great article Loribeth! There's no such thing as job security, so I teach people how to create multiple sources of income. For people who already have jobs, I teach them how to develop a Plan B by creating side businesses that they can do part-time so they have extra income.

Lori Beth, I am so impressed with your progress over the last few years and think of you often.
You are correct job secure cannot rely on the external factors and stimule but must be something we learn or have within us. We must be flexible and adaptable.
On the other hand being a criminal defense attorney in this current economy provides a lot of security. lol Wally Terry
