When Your Career Blueprint Becomes Obsolete Overnight
The ground is shifting beneath our feet. One day you're commuting to an office, the next you're Zooming from your kitchen table. One day your expertise feels solid, the next an algorithm does your job faster. What do you do when the rules of work rewrite themselves in real time? This isn't hypothetical anxiety-it's the lived reality of millions who watched COVID-19 compress five years of workplace evolution into two months. Yet here's the paradox: while some scrambled to survive, others discovered unprecedented freedom. The difference wasn't luck. It was readiness. Those who thrived possessed something more valuable than technical skills or industry knowledge-they had built what might be called "career resilience," an internal infrastructure that bends without breaking when the world tilts sideways.
