Great post! Thanks. Networking always helps - but we all should remember that jobs and job security depends on the economy and knowing where to look for jobs will greatly improve one's chances of getting a good job. For a majority of us, job security is good when the economy is doing well. Unfortunately, the economy today is very bad and a lot of people have lost jobs, and in spite of networking heavily many are simply still without jobs. It's as simple as that. There are companies that track economy and can compute what your or my job security score is, and that can help find where better opportunities might be. Add networking to the mix and that will be a sure way to success. Hope my 2 cents helps. Thank you.

Interesting article which I enjoyed very much. In "our" time, bosses knew you well after a period of employment time and promoted you as they considered best. Nowadays one has to apply more "theatrical" methods to stay afloat, being constantly aware of the "backstabbing" which is more than often prevalent in offices today.
I would like to receive similar articles to my personal email which I quote below.
Thank you for keeping us in tune with the here and now!

I think this is smart advice. So often in these situations, people sort of freeze up and wait for the ax to fall. But in fact, there are things you can do to better position yourself. I especially like #4, which is a really proactive way to deal with the situation.
