If you're worried about losing your job and aren't sure what to do, there are some steps that can help you take control of the situation.
First, make sure you're ready to change careers. If you're having trouble finding another job in your field, or even if your current employer isn't hiring for those reasons, consider a move into a different industry or career path.
If you have other options and decide not to leave your current job, make sure you know exactly what it is that makes your work so valuable and then use it as a selling point when negotiating with potential employers.
Speaking of which… once you've found a new position that makes sense for your skills and interests, make sure it feels right by talking over the details with friends who are qualified in similar positions before making any decisions about accepting an offer. Try to get feedback from someone who works at the company so they can help answer questions like "Do they support diversity?" and "How much flexibility do they offer?"
