I am worried about losing my job, what can I do?

Having a job plays a big role in our lives and it can be stressful to lose one or think you might lose one. In this case, there are some things you can't control, so focus on things that you can control. For example, keep working hard and doing your best at work. Also, to take your mind of these worries, spend time doing something you love such as being in the outdoors. Try meditation, prayer or yoga to find inner peace and calm. This will channel your energy elsewhere so you are less worried and stressed overall.

It is important to maintain an updated resume and, quite frankly, to always be on the lookout for better opportunities through both networking and job searches. Being proactive in the search for new employment during a time of potential job loss is paramount to an easier transition. It is also important, should you lose your job, to leave on good terms as your now ex-employer could be a valuable resource both as a reference and as a lead towards a new job. Ensure that you exhibit the same professionalism on your last day at the job as you did on your first. It is also important to identify why you lost the job, was it something outside of your control or was it something to do with performance on the job. A brief exit interview with your employer will be able to answer these questions and will offer insight into improvements which will need to be made in the future.

Talk to someone you work with. Find out if there are any areas where you may need to improve. Work on those areas.

Build your own empire or start looking for another job. Have someone help you with your resume and cover letter. Be positive about something better coming in your time of need.

I suggest that you talk to your boss about your fears as they are the one's that decide your jobs fate. If you're doing everything right then you shouldn't fear :)

You need to evaluate if the risk comes from something you could be doing differently. If it's a trouble within the company, there's not much you can do about it. If the possibility of losing the job is due to some problems with your boss or colleagues you need to assess if you are willing to do the required changes or if you would rather polish some skills and start looking for a new job.

Take a deep breath. You should make a list of reasonable flaws that might be getting you fired soon. After making that list, ask a friend or family member who you trust to go over that list with you. You may not be doing anything wrong, and are just stressed from the recent days. If you do lose your job, there are more opportunities out there waiting for you.

The short answer in this case is start searching for other opportunities to soften the anxiety about losing the job you have. Otherwise I'd say you should speak with your boss and HR. If they confirm your concerns then you're already on the hunt for another position.

Stop thinking of losing your job because unintentionally you will start thinking and doing things that will bring you closer and closer to that possibility. Eventually, the possibility to lose will arise for sure.

I've been attending this career fellowship program and one thing they keep urging us about is showing our interest in the organization. Try to show that you are a really enthusiastic to work with them (your boss/peers). Or you are really excited about that project they assigned you. That way they will see a growing potential in you. You need to convince them that you love your job and that you are having fun doing what they assign you. They will feel much more safer with assigning you their tasks. Show a positive and cheerful behaviour. "Be interested than being interesting".
