Author, Jorge Auristondo Vilches
Building a resilient career and staying employed in uncertain times requires a strategic, adaptive and proactive approach. Here are some key points:
1. Learn to adapt and develop adaptive skills:
The Law of Evolution of life on Earth is «adapt or die».
Being flexible and open to change will allow you to adjust quickly to new circumstances and take advantage of unexpected opportunities.
Continuous learning: Invest in constant training, both in technical skills and soft skills (communication, problem solving, leadership). Study and prepare yourself in several things over time, when you are no longer doing well in your current occupation you can draw on other skills you have developed.
Versatility: Master several areas within your field. Being multidisciplinary will make you more valuable.
Digitalization: Improve your digital and technological skills, as automation and remote work become increasingly common.
2. Cultivate a resilient mindset
Adapt your attitude: Learn to accept change as a constant. Life and the Universe are in constant change and transformation. Flexibility will help you identify opportunities where others see crises.
Strengthen your growth mindset: Focus on learning from mistakes and challenges. Mental resilience is the key to overcome times of uncertainty.
3. Build your network (Networking)
Professional relationships: Participate in associations, conferences and platforms such as LinkedIn. Keep in touch with colleagues, mentors and industry leaders.
Visibility: Add value to your network, share your knowledge and successes to position yourself as a reliable and adaptable person.
4. Diversify your sources of income
Freelance or consulting: Explore additional jobs or side projects that provide you with extra income and experience.
Entrepreneurship: Develop business ideas or products that can be scalable in the future.
Personal Investments: Learn to manage your finances, save and invest wisely to generate economic stability. Educate yourself to develop an investor’s mind rather than a consumer’s habit. Save half of what you earn, «because he who saves always has«.
5. Provides constant value
Proactivity: Don’t limit yourself to your current functions. Identify areas of improvement or new opportunities in your organization.
Measurable results: Document your achievements and make visible how you contribute to the objectives of the company or your personal business.
Adaptation to market needs: Keep your performance aligned with what the organization needs to survive and grow.
6. Take care of your personal well-being
Resilience at work also depends on your physical and mental health. Practice self-care to face stress and uncertainty with more clarity. Take care of your personal presentation, and do not fall into the mediocrity of looking like a jerk in front of others.
Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life.
7. Observe trends and prepare for change
Keep abreast of changes in the labor market and growing industries. Anticipating changes will allow you to reorient your career in time.
Specialize in areas with high future demand, such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity or healthcare.
By combining these strategies, you will not only be more resilient to job uncertainty, but you will also be able to identify new opportunities in the process.
