In this economy...the most important thing to do is to 'hang tight'. It is important than ever..whether one is in a job or looking a job.
Looking for a job has never been tougher. Thats because there are several thousands of candidates looking for opportunities in the market and the number is increasing every day, while the number of companies that are hiring or even thinking of hiring is diminishing. The demand-supply chain has become so messed up that for the few companies that are hiring, there are needy professionals willing to work for under bare minimum salary to just keep them going. This is bringing down the market even further by making it harder on rest of the individuals who are marketing themselves and ready to accept a lower pay already...and the cycle continues.
On the other hand working hard and keeping the job thats in hand has never been tougher either. Companies/firms/offices are operating with lesser than bare minimum workforce. With such little workforce and demand of output and deliverables remaining the same or even more, the pressure to perfom is much much higher combined with the fear of insecurity that he/she might be next one to 'let-go' next if there is cutting-down again.
Govt, news, media..everyone say the economy will turn around soon and things will start to get better. No clue when that will happen, but one thing for sure is that everyone needs to keep their faith alive, have hope and keep the self-confidence strong and stay bold. Because be it sooner or later, the market will turn around and get reparied...but if one's personality is damaged, it will be much harder to repair that. So, I know its hard, but its important to calm down, relax and hang tight.
