Just sent out my newsletter – 7 Career Survival Tips for Turbulent Times (that spell SUCCESS). Here’s the intro…
Almost every news item these days is about job losses, bailouts and stimulus packages…pretty despairing stuff. This past January, 129,000 Canadians lost their jobs; Bombardier announced recently that it was laying off 1,320 employees; Chrysler is thinking of temporarily closing down some of its plants. One of these plants, with over 3,000 employees, is in my city (Brampton). Such news is painful, and if we add that to what’s happening all across the United States, and the rippling effects being felt all around the world, we could very well be experiencing an “economic tsunami”, according to a Microsoft TV ad.
