Professional loyalty now flows ‘horizontally’ to and from your network
rather than ‘vertically’ to your boss. The Power of your Network.
Conventional Current
Big corporations take Technology (automates
care of loyal workers jobs, changes the nature
who automatically move of jobs, and makes it
up in a career escalator easier to offshore jobs),
and Globalization
(increases competition
for jobs and “cheap
genius”)
Networking has been by intelligent

Searching for a job only replaced by always be

Looking Ahead: Envision Success
• When is the next milestone?
o Though unemployment is at a 25‑year high, work will
eventually return. But it won't look the same.
• What are the expected deliverables?
o According to consulting giant McKinsey & Co., nearly
85% of new jobs created between 1998 and 2006
involved complex "knowledge work" like problem-
solving and concocting corporate strategy.
• Know risks, issues, headlights
o There will be some limits to growth, the next big thing,
start-up costs dropping, labor market bulwarks like
health & education, lean times
