The Dangers of Being Under or Over Qualified During a Recession
“While some say that the ‘fat’ from the company is being let go, I am seeing some of my contacts and friends who I know are very capable transferring to the ‘mobility pool’. When you see thousands getting cut in single strokes, you know that very qualified professionals will be let go. Layoffs impact families, cause home stress, force individuals to rethink their expenses, and even make people move to less desirable areas.”
From Jeremiah Owyang, a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research. Includes some useful links and advice whether you have a safe job or not (let’s hope the former). Also check out Jeremiah’s job survey results that he conducted with Twitter.
