If you’re worried you could be laid off — or if you’ve lost your job — here are recommendations from experts:
IF YOU ARE CONCERNED YOU MAY BE LAID OFF
START SAVING
It’s crucial to start building an emergency fund even when you feel secure at your job but especially if you think you might lose it.
You might not be able to save enough to cover the whole time you’ll be out of work, but even a small amount can reduce your stress.
When you start thinking about saving, Jesse Mecham, founder of the money management app YNAB, recommends that you ask yourself this question: What do I want my money to do?
Maybe a year ago, you wanted to save for a large trip abroad, while now you want to have money in case you are out of work for six months.
People “would have a very different answer now than they might have had a year ago when they thought that their job was extremely secure,” Mecham said.
If you are aggressively paying off debt and it’s affecting your ability to save, Mecham recommends slowing down payments. You should still make at least the minimum payment, but you might want to consider temporarily using any money you’re been paying over that to build an extra cash cushion so you have money available should you need it. It’s also crucial to avoid getting into further debt, Mecham said.
UPDATE YOUR RESUME
It’s always a good idea to keep your resume up to date but, most importantly, keep it customizable for several jobs, said Scott Dobrosky, career trends expert for Indeed. You can do this by leaving space in your resume to include keywords that are specific to the job you are applying for.
