Are You in a Crisis-Proof Industry
We hear about layoffs and closures left and right. The news is filled with these stories that we can’t help worrying about our job, too.
We might wake up one day and find that we’re out of job. *Knock on wood* 
But not all jobs are vulnerable. As my father would always say, “There’s always room at the top. If you’re good at what you do, you will always find work in your hands.” Such reassuring words!
In any case, there’s nothing wrong if you do a little of self examination on where you are at your career. Are you in a crisis-proof industry? How would you know which industry is crisis-proof in the first place?
