Although the last six months have demonstrated that few industries are recession proof, here are a few things you can do to help recession proof your career.
-Diversify your skill set. Take classes or sign-on for new projects that will expand your network, skills, expertise and ultimately build your resume.
-Be visible in your industry or field by increasing your on-line presence. Contribute to blogs. Learn more about on-line networking tools (i.e. LinkedIn.com, visualcv.com etc.).

Just wanted to add a small tip on creating a recession proof career. It would be a good idea to plan out your career or business by considering government contracting. This is a very lucrative financial opportunity that can help you stabilize financially and increase your income flow if it is done the right way.
If this is something that you are interested in to put an end to your financial worries, get yourself registered with the Central Contractor Registry which is a federal clearing house for vendors and small businesses too. Also identify a product or service that you can supply to the government and which the government needs in order to get a contract.
You can win such billion dollar contracts and secure your career or business better even during this phase of recession.
