Combat the Economic Bust: A Survivor's Career Guide
Inside Product Strategy™ asked a handful of successful managers in our network for their ideas about managing a career in an age of huge uncertainty. Their advice: make a plan, create a brand, network with peers, build an online presence, and break from your routine. Don't expect any particular job to last forever, but always put yourself in position to move ahead. Their stories follow.
Manage your brand, manage your career. Building and communicating a distinctive brand around your interests, talents and experience takes time, but it's the key to differentiating yourself in the professional marketplace.
Why network, anyway? Stuff happens. So the more people in different industries you keep in touch with, the more options you'll have when stuff happens to you.
Things happen. When you really put yourself out on the web, even without a grand strategy, good things sometimes follow.
Mission accomplished. The interval between jobs can become an opportunity of a lifetime
Make a plan. If you don't know where you want your career to go, you'll probably never get there. So make a plan. And the first step in planning is to candidly inventory your skills, interests, and desires.
