You might be fired or laid off without warning.  

Jim was. One day that seemed like just another day at work, he was called into a conference room. "We have to let you go--sorry."

A security guard escorted him to his desk to grab a few personal belongings, then to the exit. Boom! He was locked out.

Jim lost access to his (invaluable) contact list. Documents he wanted to keep were lost. Sentimental items--gone. References? He didn't have their contact information. Those interesting people he'd met at the conference? Their business cards were in his desk--now, probably in the garbage.

He tried to reconstruct his contact list, but it was a whole lot of work--and valuable time wasted. Of course, he could only remember a small fraction of his contacts.

What about work samples? He had nothing with which to create a portfolio or a web site to display them.  

This short article might save you a lot of grief.
