We are all at risk of losing our job in this recession and any day you could lose your job.
In this article, I'll share with you 6 great ways to keep your job in the recession.
Eat Lunch At Your Desk Occasionally I know this isn't great but you need to protect your job.
The key thing is to appear more dedicated than your co-workers.
So if everybody always goes out for one hour to lunch then you should occasionally eat at your desk.
Make the most of your time and use the phone or email for your personal life or to do some reading but appear like you're working.
Show Interest In Really Important Areas Of Work What I mean by this is that you're less easy to fire if you have critical knowledge that nobody else has.
Look at where your team is going, what kind of new activities are on the horizon.
Volunteer to get involved.
It might mean a little extra work at first but you will become indisposable.
Get Into Work Before The Boss Always be there before the boss.
Even one minute is enough.
It will create the impression that you turn up 15 to 30 minutes before he does.
If possible, try to leave the office one minute after he does.
Training Keep up to date with training.
This way, if you do lose your job then you will be up to date and attractive to a future employer.
The best way is to get training from your existing employer for free.
It will also give the impression that you are committed to them and they will build you into their long term plans and be less likely to fire you anyway.
Be Confident Confident people are respected more and subconsciously others think they have a higher worth.
If you act sad and depressed at work then you will become a victim of your boss and co-workers and more likely to lose your job.
