Best Answer

Lack of job security means that you are not in control of your own destiny. You could be ambushed at any time by a sudden layoff, economic shock, overseas competition, technological disruption, bad relationship with your boss or a co-worker, corporate scandal, or simply by the fact that you have not performed.

You can get job security with the following strategies:

- Keep your personal finances in order so that if something happens to your job you have time to find a new opportunity.

- Keep building and strengthening your network of contacts, your power base.

- Keep building your skills.

- In your spare time, connect with people who are in the "opportunity flow" like headhunters, entrepreneurs, executives on the move, investment bankers, and others who are involved in creating jobs and hiring good people.

- Always have back up plans in place to quickly become a freelancer or consultant, start a home-based business, become an interim employee, go back to school, or find a new job with someone who knows and trusts you.
