In response to the worsening economic uncertainty, workers are getting jittery and ‘career cushioning’.

“The term includes the word ‘cushion’, which implies that there’s a softening of the impact in the event that someone is laid off or unexpectedly terminated,” says Daphne E Jones, board member and author of. “Career cushioning is like having an insurance policy.” “If you are feeling unhappy in your current role, our first piece of advice would always be to speak to your manager and have that open conversation to see if anything can be changed or if there are any opportunities for growth,” Davies suggests.

“Update your LinkedIn profile – stay top of mind with your network and expand it – and make full use of your connections to source for advice from your community and even job referrals,” Davies recommends. “Be sure to include relevant skills and keywords featured in descriptions of jobs that seem interesting to you in your profile, which can further boost your visibility in recruiter searches.
