The uncertainty ahead may cause an over flow of negative feelings and you may need time to recover from
shock and to clear your head. If necessary, take some time off to think about your next step. Do not make hasty decisions. Talking to a trusted friend or family member about how you feel will always make you feel better.
4. Start a new job search.
The sooner you begin looking for another job
better! As soon as you get
motivation, undertake an aggressive job hunt campaign. Update your resume, do some research on
internet which offers a lot of information about current job listings and allows you to post your resume online, visit employment agencies and let them know about your availability to work and
position that you would be interested in, get
classified section of
newspaper that has job listings, network with people and let them know you are looking for a job. Send out your resume to employers who have job openings that may interest you. 5. Stay positive.
It's not easy to do this...but for your own sake you must! Don’t allow yourself to be engulfed by negative feelings of self-pity, worthlessness, anger, bitterness and etc.
These feelings may rear their ugly heads but keep them in control because they will take away your power and introduce depression in your life. This will accelerate ineffectiveness on your part. Motivate yourself daily by looking on
bright side.
6. Budget your finances.
Now that you don’t have a steady flow of income, consider putting a tighter reign over your finances by making reductions in your expenditure. Keep all
‘luxuries’ at bay especially if you don’t have any emergency money saved up. This may entail making clear distinctions between what you really need and what you want.
7. Move on.
Hey, it’s not
end of
world. Always remember, “Every exit from somewhere is an entrance somewhere else.” Tom Stoppard.
A bend in
road is not
end of
road unless you fail to make a turn. Do not be afraid to move on and start a fresh. This may just be
beginning of something beautiful.
