Since the start of the year, millions of professionals have lost their jobs and competition for open roles has become extremely high, so how could this be the best time to consider a career switch?
Well, in some ways, for those exact reasons. If you’ve been paying attention the last few months, you’ve learned that:
- Job security is a myth (it always has been, but it’s much more evident now)
- The market is extremely dynamic and in-demand industries and skills change swiftly (again, not new, but the rate of change has increased even more)
- Even stellar performers are not protected from the negative impact of a crashing economy (nope, not new either, but perhaps this is the first time in your career you’re seeing that firsthand)
