Stop Whining

No complaining allowed. No one likes a whiner and those who complain are usually the first to go. While you’re at it, do not participate in the office gossip.

Stay visible

Do you work from home? If you work from home you are not front of mind with your manager and have a higher chance of being let go. Stop working from home and get to the office everyday. Also get to work before your manager does and stay 15 minutes after they leave.

Start Networking

There is no better time than while you’re employed to be looking for another job and networking. Contact head hunters and old colleagues to let them know what you’re doing these days. It’s always good to be front of mind with people you’ve worked with in the past just in case you find yourself unemployed.

If you do find yourself unemployed, start your job search with SnagAJob.com or USAJobs.gov.

Army: Gunmen kill Indonesia soldier in Papua

 Associated Press, Jayapura | Thu, 07/21/2011 6:47 PM An army officer says unidentified gunmen have ambushed Indonesia soldiers and killed one of them in the easternmost province of Papua. The chief army officer in Papua says soldiers are still searching for the gunmen. Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu said the ambush Thursday morning happened outside a village in the hilly district of Puncak Jaya. Triassunu said the victim was a first private killed by a shot to his head. No information was available on the other soldiers. The attack occurred one day after a military tribunal indicted three low-ranking soldiers for killing a civilian in Puncak Jaya last year. Papua is a former Dutch colony incorporated into Indonesia in 1969 after a U.N.-sponsored ballot. A small, poorly armed separatist movement has battled for independence ever since.
