👋 Hey Reader, happy Monday!
If your paycheck disappeared tomorrow, would you be okay?
Recession fears are growing, layoffs are creeping up, and job security isn’t guaranteed. The last thing you want is to be caught off guard. Here’s how to "recession-proof" your career and protect your income:
🚀 1. Make Yourself Indispensable
The most valuable employees are the last to go. You want to be the person your company can’t afford to lose.
- Learn an in-demand skill: AI automation, data analysis, and cybersecurity are booming, even as companies cut other roles.
- Track your wins: every dollar you save or process you improve is proof you’re essential. (Use our Work Accomplishments Tracker to make this easy!)
💰 2. Build Income Security
Relying on one paycheck is risky. Even if your job isn't at risk, extra income can help you build that emergency fund. Start securing your finances now:
- Freelance with your skills—writing, design, coding, or consulting can bring in extra cash fast.
- Position yourself for a raise—our Promotion Guide walks you through how to prepare and ask confidently.
- Don't Stop Investing – In our last newsletter, we covered why you SHOULDN’T panic about the stock market and why you should keep investing.
🔥 3. Strengthen Your Career & Industry Positioning
Some industries thrive in downturns. Others face massive layoffs. If you’re looking for stability or a career pivot, consider:
- Tech & Cybersecurity—companies still invest in digital security & AI.
- Healthcare—steady demand, even in recessions.
- High-Net-Worth Services—financial advisors, luxury real estate, and specialized consulting hold strong.
If layoffs hit, will you be ready? Whether you just want to pivot careers to something more stable or you need to get a new job, make sure you're ready. Update your resume & LinkedIn with our free guides!
