Planning for the New Year

Unfortunately, I am hearing about too many friends and/or colleagues who have recently been downsized. Reasons vary from a facility being shut down to a larger company gaining control and pushing out the existing staff to one person being hired to (allegedly) do the work of 2 or 3 people who have been released. Companies are making some strange, knee jerk decisions.

The key is do not take it personally. Get yourself organized and into circulation as soon as possible. The next few weeks will be very quiet with not much happening until mid-January. That is actually a good thing as you have roughly a month to fine tune your presentation before hitting the market really hard. Let me know how I could help you.
