Comments on: Your Ultimate Goal: How You Can Find Job Security http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/your-ultimate-goal-how-you-can-find-and-keep-security/ Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:27:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Deborah Fato http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/your-ultimate-goal-how-you-can-find-and-keep-security/comment-page-1/#comment-9240 Deborah Fato Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:50:25 +0000 http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/?p=317#comment-9240 Mr. Barnes, I am a paralegal who was just suddenly laid off from working for in house counsel in a corporate legal department, and it was devastating to my sense of security. I thought my job was safe, as the legal department was the busiest in the whole company for so very long, and it was just the two of us, my boss attorney and me, with scores of other outside counsel being orchestrated by us to do the company work. That was two weeks ago, and now that the new year has turned, I am in hopes that my fresh job search will 'pick up' and go somewhere. Your article helped me put things in perspective. I appreciate your taking the time to write it, as it brought some comfort and focus into what I need to look for in my own job search. Do you have any articles about 'stability' on a resume? I have moved around from job to job due to life circumstances (got married, had major surgery, moved to three different cities in last 10 years) so my resume doesn't show the tenure some law firms seem to be demanding these days. Just because I haven't been some places long doesn't mean I wouldn't want to stay at a good job until retirement (or the next layoff...). I find it extremely frustrating that 'tenure issues' get me immediately nixed from good jobs. Any advice? Mr. Barnes,

I lost my job this past year in a corporate cut and it's the 3rd time I have been through this and this time it really hit me hard. Feelings of inadequacy surfaced that I have never, ever, felt before. Thanks for sharing and helping me to see I am not alone.
