B. Lectia de cariera - 3

Cariera trebuie privita si pe termen scurt. In fiecare zi poti ramane fara "job", chiar in conditiile in care firma iti apartine. Atunci, te gandesti ca nu poti rata nici o oportunitate pe baza sigurantei oferite de locul de munca actual. Cei care gandesc asa se trezesc zilnic spunandu-si ca nu au un loc de munca. E un sentiment neplacut, dar mobilizator. Fiecare dintre noi ar trebui sa simta la fel. Sa te trezesti in fiecare dimineata cu sentimentul ca nu esti angajat - asa iti poti aprecia locul de munca actual - si sa te gandesti serios la urmatorul pas. Este bine sa ai un "Plan B". Nu se stie niciodata...
