In todayÓs economic climate, companies are increasingly taking the quick route to firing employees, giving them

fewer warnings and signals than ever before. When management desires to downsize quickly, you may suddenly

and unexpectedly find yourself out of a job.

Although there are

employers

that will use alternative options to avoid firing a worker, many employers do fire

without a second thought.

Some employers are using the slightest reason to fire workers and with high

unemployment

, itÓs not a good time

to lose a job without having secured a new one.

Pay Attention to Your Performance

It is absolutely critical that you are at least meeting your goals right now. To avoid getting fired, step it up a

notch and exceed your goals. Performance is the ultimate reason for a company to keep an employee. Make

your achievements known when possible without obvious self-promotion. Occasionally note what youÓve

accomplished in conversations with your boss or in emails. If you can quantify your achievements, thatÓs

considerably more powerful.

DonÓt Hide

Make yourself known. Converse with your boss. Know what he or she is looking for in the short-term.

Remember, in tough economic times your manager is also concerned about his or her employment status. When

you know your bossÓs goals you can help to fine-tune your own performance to help them with their

performance. Also, the better the boss knows you the harder it is to fire you. DonÓt fool yourself into thinking

you can fly under the radar.

Be Aware How Your Behavior is Perceived

If youÓve had any prior issues related to inappropriate workplace behavior (actual or perceived) be sure to avoid

repeating the behavior at all costs. People get fired more often for their social interactions in the workplace than

performance-related issues. If you exhibit both issues, a struggling company wonÓt tolerate you. For example,

today it may be difficult for those in sales to meet their quotas. Which underachiever on the sales team do

you think will be fired first? The likeable employee who hasnÓt met his goals or the salesperson who hasnÓt met

goals AND has social problems with coworkers and management? ItÓs an easy choice, isnÓt it?

Put in Your Time

Get to on time (early is even better) and donÓt be the first one out the door. This is one way to display your

dedication to your job. No one wants to fire an employee who shows effort and concern over their job. Putting in

extra time is a great way to display your desire to keep and excel at your job.

Be Flexible

This is not the time to have the Ðnot my jobÑ attitude. Not your job? Well, how about no job then? Be

cooperative and do what the company asks of you. Avoid getting fired now and leave when you do find the job

you want. You also have the opportunity to wait until the company is more stable and then state

desires if youÓve positioned yourself well. You should also understand that sometimes being flexible leads to new

opportunities that help you advance in your career.

Avoid the Employment Gap Î Take Action!

People get fired for actively breaking one or often all five of these very basic rules. If you can improve in these

areas on the job, you should take action now.

Avoid an employment gap on

your resume

while achieving what you desire in your career.
