Alice looked round her in great surprise.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Why, I do believe we’ve been under this tree the whole time! Everything’s just as it was!’ <\/em><\/p>\n

‘Of course it is,’ said the Queen, ‘what would you have it?’ <\/em><\/p>\n

‘Well, in OUR country,’ said Alice, still panting a little, ‘you’d generally get to somewhere else\u2014if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.’ <\/em><\/p>\n

‘A slow sort of country!’ said the Queen. ‘Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running YOU can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!’<\/em><\/p>\n

If we examine the current state of the Spanish labour market we encounter a reality depicted by unemployment rates of 26.7%, youth unemployment at 57.2%, and we are witnessing 80% of businesses fail and where there appears to be little hope of detecting improvements in the labour reform. There are endless resources proposed to try and survive and emerge within a market plagued by layoffs, bankruptcy proceedings, suspension of payments and the closing of lines of credit for financing businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cReinvent yourself professionally: how to relaunch our professional life and be happier and more competitive\u201d, \u201cReinvent: Your second opportunity\u201d, \u201cWhat would you do if you weren\u2019t afraid? The value of reinventing yourself\u201d<\/em>\u2026There are now many articles, books, theories searching to find a solution to the weariness, the lack of hope and the lack of self-confidence. Reinvent, recycle, redefine; are all ways to define a \u201cdo what it takes to be different, to adapt to a situation, to update\u2026 because the situation is not going to change, and if it does it will take time\u2026 do what it takes to survive\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Darwin said \u201cIt is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most
\nintelligent, but the most responsive to change\u201d. Once we have accepted the theory and that we must reinvent, update and recycle, once we have accepted that today it\u2019s the fastest who wins\u2026 is it a real improvement with reinvention? Does everyone really reinvent themselves in a way that is truly optimal? Is it effective to reinvent oneself after 20, 25 or even 30 years in the labour market?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We must be aware of the need to update, the need to update previously acquired skills to adapt and adjust to an ever changing market. It\u2019s also essential to know in which areas we must update and to focus on what\u2019s going to provide us with added value as an employee. We can\u2019t ask a hunter to work as a chef in a Michelin star restaurant but we can ask him to provide fish for it. We must be clear about the direction we want to take and the strengths we wish to potentiate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
