What Does Job Stability Mean? (It Isn’t What You Think)

Do you believe that permanent positions provide more job stability than contract roles? Many people do, but I have statistics that might challenge that assumption and encourage you to think differently about your career options. 

It is a common belief that larger, well-established companies are inherently more stable than small startups. However, I can show you compelling evidence that this is often a misconception. Our experience is that smaller companies can offer just as much, if not more, security and opportunity.

As a job seeker, how can you truly assess whether an opportunity offers real job stability? Is there a way to determine if a company has solid funding and a healthy financial outlook? Can you evaluate the company’s performance to see if it’s growing and competing effectively? Alternatively, is there a way to see if a company is stagnating and losing market share? What if I told you there are ways to find out if a company is in the process of negotiating a merger or acquisition?

Even if you confirm that a company or position is stable, how can you be sure there will be career growth and advancement opportunities?

These are critical questions to consider before making your next move.

Welcome to today’s team roundtable! We will be sharing tips and valuable insights on the key questions you should ask to assess job stability, company health, and long-term career prospects so you can make informed career decisions.
