&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I know, I know, I know. Another &quot;stay motivated&quot; article. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;At this point you may be asking yourself, &quot;How motivated do you want me to be?&quot; You may be screaming at your computer. Perhaps you&#39;re already&amp;nbsp;feeling plenty motivated -&amp;nbsp;to write me an angry email (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;pinkslipped@vault.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;!)&amp;nbsp;and tell me to stop posting all this &quot;how to stay motivated&quot;&amp;nbsp;stuff and just post some links to job openings already. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s the thing. It&#39;s all&amp;nbsp;layoffs and bad news and &quot;Are we gonna pass this stimulus package already or what?&quot; out there. In that kind of environment, all anyone is going to feel is stress. With that in mind, this &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; article at least gives you something positive to focus your energy on instead of dwelling on the possibility of losing your job. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Now is the time to find ways to help your company save money and keep it from losing ground. You&#39;ll be more valuable to your firm, but even if you are eventually laid off, you&#39;ll have something tangible to show a potential employer.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;So, there you go. I may not have the answers you want, but I can scour the internet for helpful hints to help you bring those answers within reach. That&#39;s something, right? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Sigh. You may now return to writing your angry letters. Looking forward to hearing from you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Layoffs Abound, the Tough Stay Motivated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; [Wall Street Journal]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Steven Schiff, Vault News &amp;amp; Commentary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Stay tough, stay motivated, and increase your value
