How to
Avoid becoming an Unemployment Statistic
1.0 Create Unique Skills or Volunteer for
Experiences
i.e.
*
Languages
*
Experience in Negotiating or Preparing Proposals
*
Handling tough people
2.0 Ask
for Opportunities
Your Employer does not owe you
anything other than your agreed Salary.
Ask
your employer for opportunities to do better. The one who gains will be you.
3.0 Get
involved in your Industry’s Associations
If you are a Professional
in any industry, there’s usually an association of professionals
like
yourself (People hate to be lonely). Join these associations (Interior Designers,
Advertising,
Bankers)
and increase your network.
4.0 Last
but NOT least – ADD VALUE
In
everything you do, ADD VALUE. Once people know you as a Value Adder,
you
will be in DEMAND and we will never see you as a Statistic.
