NO JOB SECURITY

I began my professional, post-university career in the notoriously insecure world of an advertising creative department.

Agencies lose their accounts all the time. A large account staying at one agency for two years is considered good going.

And when accounts were lost, jobs were lost along with them, end of story. Often it didn't matter how good at your job you were.

You could be a rock star one day and POOF! On the street overnight.

And this was normal. We never thought a job for life existed.

All we had was our work to fall back on. And the people we knew, and the people who knew us back.

All we had was our network. The network.

That's all anybody has, at the end of the day.

And now the rest of the world is learning that quickly.

    This is one of your best works! Seriously, I've seen this happening to me, to friends and families. You couldn't have said it better. :) P.S - I'm a huge fan

    I agree with you. This is pretty good.

    Hugh! I think this is the most important picture you've done. True dat.

    I'm not too proud to say I'm learning this the hard way. Somehow, I think we'll find that the days where *not* having a strong network were historical aberrations. Sort of like "privacy." Stuff like that.

    SO TRUE! This is a perfect description and captures the concept around why one's network is so critical. Thanks, Hugh. -Owen
