*“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” — Albert Einstein*

Throughout the course of one's career, there are many ups and downs—from
promotions and raises to career changes to setbacks and layoffs. Sometimes,
as in the current global state, difficulties can arise through no fault of
your own. When this happens, it's easy to feel discouraged, anxious, and
uncertain of the road ahead.

Despite the outside forces beyond your control, you can still actively
manage and chart your own path. Being prepared—even when you're not
actively job searching—can help you maintain control of your career,
despite an uncertain job market. Establishing clear professional goals is a
good first step,  but it's also helpful to have a plan to help you bounce
back should the unexpected occur.

The tips below can help you do just that, with tips and strategies for job
hunting, interviewing, improving your personal brand online, and helping
yourself stay focused during your search.
