Increase your Marketability and Employability

In the wake of the collapse or near collapse of the big corporations in the world, people should come to a quick awakening and realisation that there is no such a thing as permanent and guaranteed anymore in today's new world order.

I have always heard many people boast about the corporations they work with, saying how big, how stable, how long standing they are. I have always told them, "Don't sell the company too much, sell yourself!"

Many don't realise that people don't work for companies, they work for people. One clear evidence is that when a leader or manager or superior leaves a company for a greener pasture, it is rather common to see his subordinates follow him subsequently. It goes to show that people work for their superiors or managers, they don't work for the company. Staff develop relationships with their superiors, not the company. It is the people who make the company.

Individually, as one works in the company, he should increase his marketability and future employability by consciously improving or enhancing his or her KASH values. KASH stands for Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills and Habits.
