RE: Job Security is a Myth

in #jobs7 years ago

I'm almost 60 now and had a 30 year accounting career. The longest position in all that time lasted 7 years and I have had over 100 different employers. I was sort of a trouble shooter for most of that time. I would go into a problem area, help them find and fix the problem, and then the job would be over.

Often people working in those places would ask me how I could stand such job insecurity. But for me, "it was what it was" and I made the best of it. I also learned to get recommendation letters when I was leaving because the companies failed often after I was gone and then all those people were out of work from their "stable" jobs.

A hint I will give you from this time, is that when "cost cutting" is a focus instead of growth, be very wary. LinkedIn is a good place to wallpaper your resume. For every company failing, others thrive.

Like you, I trust in God to provide. I keep doing what I think is working and try to limit the non-productive tasks. Bet of luck for this situation and it may be positive in more ways that you can know right now.

Sort:  

Yep, I am certain that God is calling me away from where I'm at now. Not sure where to but I know it will open up a world of opportunity for my family and also people who come into contact with us. Big change requires big levels of trust which are growing in us each day.
