Is Your Resume Recession Proof?

I’m starting to hear it all the time now… we’re in recovery mode, the recession is soon to be a thing of the past. It’s amazing how short our memories can really be. When things are bad we can’t imagine the sun ever shining again. When we’re flying high we can’t picture another dark day.

If in fact we’re headed toward recovery, does that really mean you can work in any job in any industry and keep that job under any economic conditions? Or might the better strategy be to own your future and get yourself into a recession proof industry now? This way, when the next downturn hits… whether it’s in five years or twenty, you’ll likely hold onto your job while others sweat the unemployment line.

In my new book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Recession Proof Careers, due in stores this February, I cover more than 100 jobs that are sure to be in growth mode for years to come. But we don’t stop there, because holding onto your job is about more than just the right industry. You’ve got to become a high performer, build transferable skills, and even identify the right roles that can showcase your skills.

Check the book out in February, or better yet, pre-order your copy now at Amazon and you’ll be on your way to owning your future.
