If you have a full-time day job you depend on, its time to look into the future and ask yourself some hard questions, why would you try to find a good job

First there is the ever-present threat of what companies like to call downsizing. In other words, they fire employees in order to improve company profits.

Downsizing may be the result of improvements in technology, and the need for fewer human hands and minds, the growth of overseas competitors or pressure from Wall Street investors.

Then there is the threat of outsourcing this is why i would not keep searching for a job.

This is a growing threat and happens when companies find they can outsource jobs and whole departments to employees overseas...typically in India, the Far East and Eastern Europe. Again, its all about profits. People in those countries get paid a lot less for doing the same job.

You are particularly vulnerable to having your job outsourced if you work in customer service, manufacturing, fashion or Information Technology.

Will that job still exists in five or ten years?

If you lose that job, will it be easy to find another one?

If you do lose your job, do you have money put aside? How long could you last before running out of cash?

If you are within ten years of retirement, and you lose your job soon, do you have enough retirement savings put aside?

The bottom line is this: if you depend on an employer for your income, then your livelihood and future are at risk.

The idea of job security is something you can no longer depend on.
