Worried About Losing Your Job?

With news of an impending recession intensifying every day, you’re probably feeling a bit worried about how secure your job is.
 
According to Robert Rosen, author of Just Enough Anxiety: The Hidden Driver of Business Success, a little bit of anxiety about your job is actually a good thing. In this US News & World Report article, Rosen explains that this little bit of anxiety propels you to work harder and achieve more and thus will become successful. He explains that change is “what life is all about” and reminds people that they are much better at dealing with change in the work environment than they give themselves credit for.
 
And if you do lose your job, there’s no need to let anxiety overwhelm you. Review our top 5 things to do if you lose your job and see what you can do now to prepare for the worst.
