Not only is it difficult to cope with an uncomfortable situation such as providing support for your friend, but it can also be uncomfortable because you might be worrying about your potential situation within the company.

Now, with the economy the way it is, you can multiply that number by 10, if not more. Think about that…quite possibly there are 10, 20, maybe even 30 people competing for the same job as you. Here’s where people start to become disheartened, but…I’ll tell you a trick that can put you...
