BONUS: How To Manage Your Career During A Crisis - a podcast by Julia Toothacre

This podcast is going to focus on how to manage your career during a crisis. The current crisis happens to be a new virus, but in the future there could be a different crisis and these tips will still apply. Think about Y2K or the crash of 2008. These were all events that impacted the world of work in different ways.

 

I want to start with making sure you know and understand how you react, function, and manage during a crisis situation. Being able to identify this will help you figure out the best way to move forward and where your blind spots might be during a crisis.

 

I believe there are 3 types of professionals in a crisis:

1. The level headed professional

2. The over-reacting professional

3. The I don’t care it’s probably not real anyway professional

 

The point of identifying this in yourself is being realistic about how you handle and manage extremely stressful situations and immediate change.

 

A crisis like this can have a major impact on the economy and jobs. This episode will give you actions to think about taking when it comes to your career. I will outline different scenarios you might encounter and provide you with actions to manage the situation.

 

I reference season 1 of the podcast "Should I Quit My Job?" and the episode on How to Set Intentional Career Goals.
