The advise to learn complementary skills works well for folks who are on the junior side of things. But if you are 5-10 years into your career, that could end up being a step backwards.
When times are very difficult, those are opportunities where our unique skills can help us stand out. If your company is being stressed, you might actually have better lines of communication with the executives of your company then you ever did before. Find a way to help solve their problems. Every situation is different, so no formula exists on how to do this. But if you begin to look for these chances and develop a reputation for someone who commits themselves to solving strategic problems, then you will become more valuable as things get worse. This is the harder path, but it is another path you can take. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
