The challenge isn’t just keeping a job, it’s building a career resilient to change. To navigate uncertainty and build real career resilience, adopt a proactive mindset: 1) Identify your non-negotiables, 2) build adaptability and agility, 3) deepen relationships, and 4) create your next best option.
