The Do's & Dont's In Uncertain Times

Written by Soong Chong, Director

 

There is a lot of uncertainty in the economy at the moment. And a clear indication of this is the share market rising and dropping anywhere from 4% to 6%. In addition it does not help that Australia doesn't have a very strong political leadership. Here are my tips for do's and dont's for job seekers in the current market state.

What to do if you don't have a job:

 

• Invest in yourself, engage in some more study
• Trust that we will get through the tough times
• Do volunteer work or work experience
• Never lose hope and keep on applying for jobs
• Review your CV so that it is perfect

What to do if you want to change jobs:

 

• If you are unhappy, give your current job (and the people in the current company) another chance
• Look for opportunities in your current company
• Don't make yourself or your role a target to be made obsolete. As Elvis used to sing "A little less conversation and little more action". 
• Focus on the positives
