How to Avoid becoming an Unemployment Statistic

1.0 Create Unique Skills or Volunteer for Experiences
                i.e.
                * Languages
                * Experience in Negotiating or Preparing Proposals
                * Handling tough people

2.0 Ask For Opportunities
                Your Employer does not owe you anything other than your agreed Salary.
 Ask your employer for opportunities to do better. The one who gains will be you.


3.0 Get Involved
                If you are a Professional in any industry, there’s usually an association of professionals like yourself (People hate to be lonely). Join these associations (Interior Designers, Advertising, Bankers) and increase your network.


4.0 Last but NOT least - ADD VALUE
                In everything you do, ADD VALUE. Once people know you as a Value Adder,  you will be in DEMAND and we will never see you as a Statistic.
