I found these articles really helpful and insightful. The first two are related to my situation as I am looking for a job. I already recommended these articles to my friends. Thanks for the posting.

These articles were very interesting and valuable. I have seen my employer lay off over half the employees this past year (8,000+ people) and is currently beginning major outsourcing in Asia. Knowledge and the ability to effectively apply skills and generate equitable results is the key to survival.

I appreciate all the articles as they relate to different situations at the present. The article by Linborg, "Should You Stay Or Should You Go?" is relative to my situation right now. His information is very timely for my outlook with my current employer who has not laid anyone off...yet.

Russell Westcott's article really highlights the need to be constant learners in our profession, and to continue to grow and learn through a self-directed development plan. The graphic (Figure 1) is worth closer inspection, as it shows the challenges and rewards an individual will face trying to learn new skills. This article is a great reminder to continue to "sharpen the axe" on a regular basis, especially in challenging economic times.
