What should be a laid off investment?

I was reading property news today that now is the real time to invest, interest rates have been dropping, and some say they may drop further. So if investors want to make good profit in future and a real opportunity for price appreciation then invest now. At the same time analysts are talking to invest in equity or unit trust for a mid to long term to get better returns in future.

What about a job seeker who has been laid off few months back, what should be his/her investment?

After some brainstorming, let’s see if this helps:-
  • Time to reconnect with your ex-colleagues, bosses and with your clients.
  • Time to invest in volunteer jobs, part time jobs matching your skill set.
  • Time to invest in your own business, may be a small one or may be freelancing.
  • Time to invest in Networking.
  • Consider it as a break from your career to assess your skill sets and identify areas you can improve while searching for a job. Benchmark yourself.
  • Select a career where there is no crowd, stand out.

As a matter of fact, I am also not busy as other years, so here I am with my recruiting blog to connect with you professionals across different industry.

What are your views? Please share your thoughts.
