Recession-Proofing Your Career: Step Up | JobSearchTV.com
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
One way to recession-proof your career is to step up for work.
One way to recession-proof your career is to step up for new assignments to volunteer for new work.
There’s an old gag where people in the army are asked to volunteer for a dangerous assignment and everyone but one individual steps back so that that one person is out front. You want to be stepping forward for new things. And you can say, ‘hey, look, this is new terrain for me. I’m going to be learning as I go along. Do you have a problem with that?’ They’ll say yes or no. That’s okay. But you want to be volunteering for new assignments because that creates visibility for you, that allows you to stand out from the mediocre who don’t want to risk anything.
