At worst, assume we're headed for a recession. If that's the case, some companies will dismiss workers, hiking unemployment. A general business slowdown also would make finding a job a bit tougher if you maintain your current boom mindset. Ironically, this is good news for the job seeker. In a recession, the emphasis is on people who can produce.
Great salespeople are in high demand.
Outside of sales, those who can both do and manage are prized. Anyone who can prove they saved money and increased output is welcomed with open arms. If most of management is wringing their hands and worrying over lower sales and earnings, you will be perceived as a highly desirable job candidate if you have the right results-producing background and the confidence to come off appearing as if you have the Answer. During a recession, networking and letter writing become important ways to land a job. Fewer help-wanted ads will appear, as the number of existing job slots are frozen or shrink, and as companies find it easier to fill openings that become available.
