Worried about layoffs? Focus on your current job while RiseSmart finds your next one
The overall unemployment rate currently stands at 7.2 percent, a 15-year high according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It seems like every day since the current recession began in December 2007, the news has been full of reports of job layoffs. In fact, the government just released a report indicating that the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits is at its highest level in a quarter of a century, as more workers seek government assistance.
Are you concerned you might be next? If so, a RiseSmart membership can keep you one step ahead of the game. That’s because RiseSmart was created with the needs of busy managers and executives in mind.
We know that if you’re currently in a job, it’s probably a demanding one — so demanding that the last thing you want to do when you get home from work is to spend hours searching for jobs online. This is particularly true if you’re worried about being laid off; it’s more critical than ever that you dedicate yourself to your current job to show your value to your employer.
But what happens if the rug gets pulled out from under you and you lose your job anyway? You’ll have to start your job search efforts from scratch. And for $100K+ jobs, HR experts say the average job search is taking six to nine months.
Can you afford to go that long — or longer — without a job?
