In our book on teaching kids about social and environmental sustainability, my co-author Chris Maser wrote a section on the importance of back-up systems. We are so focused on efficiency in so many parts of our lives today, that we often forget about the importance of these safety nets/planned redundancies. Great post and I'm it all worked out for Tess. Hey, Wendy.

During these economic times, job security means different things to different people. Unfortunately, many people have it wrong and don't realize it until it is too late. What I have found is job security requires three keys (1) marketable skills - do other organizations have a need for your skills (2) being very good at your job - the Twin Cities is a very small town (3) having a strong and diverse network of supporters that know what your skills are and that you are very good at your job. If you keep these keys in mind, you have a Plan B. As a professional recruiter I meet people looking for a job every day.
