52,607 Malaysians lost their jobs by mid-July. Kena buang kerja

And look at who got hit the hardest - Professionals.

13,461 professionals. 26% of all retrenchments.

People with degrees. People with experience. People with good qualifications.

I am shocked when I saw this.

So you should really stop asking whether your company will retrench?

You should ask yourself this question instead

“If I had to find a new job in 30 days, how ready am I?”

Dah ready ke belum?

Score yourself. One point each. (and be honest)

Updated LinkedIn profile.
Strong CV.
Active professional network.
Evidence of your achievements, not just job descriptions.
Recruiters know who you are.
You've posted your expertise recently.
You have people willing to recommend you.

If you scored 5 and above, that’s good. Bagus, you're in a decent position.

If you scored below 5, alamak Houston we have a problem.

Because let’s say nasib tak baik and kena retrench, then you will competing with everyone else who also just lost their job. So you want to be more ready than them!

The people who get hired fastest in a tough market are usually not the most qualified, but the one who are the most prepared.

So be prepared because you never know what might happen

Time is really tough right now my friends
