Editor's Notes
- Recently a close friend lost her job, and she remarked that she was confused as to how to handle this. She said there were lots of advice online, but confusing I condensed these into 5 essential points based on my own personal experience, as well as what I saw most useful to those that I have helped Thought I’d share these with you
- These are the 5 areas I’ll go thro each point over the next few slides
- One of the most difficult things when you first experience job lost, is to believe that you are not a failure Its unfortunate that nowadays, it’s common for companies to cut their loses by restructuring – it can happen to anyone, and it has happened to a lot of people YOU ARE NOT ALONE There’s nothing to be ashamed of, and you have certainly not let anyone down by losing your job “every job is temporary” – I find this a very powerful statement If we can tune our belief that no job is guaranteed, we can prepare ourselves mentally BLEIEVE IN YOURSELF
- Its not uncommon for us to shut ourselves off when something like this happens. This comes because we believe we have failed our loved ones BUT you should be doing the opposite – tell your loved ones what happened Its time like these that you need emotional support This can come from family, friends – key is to be open about things and re-engage You would be pleasantly surprised at what can come about Focus on what matters to you
- Enjoy yourself! – I know this may sound kinda silly and I don’t meant to be flippant about a serious situation BUT I’ve often heard that many find this period to be the most productive and fulfilling period of their lives! You get a chance to do things you’ve always wanted but never had the time Eg learn a new skill, visit a new destination, Be open to new experiences Most importantly, focus on what gives you joy
- Now is also the time to re- assess what you really want to do Be clear about what your goals are Better still, create a Business Plan – after all we are in a “business of One” – so what not plan our career like a business! Look at new opportunities with a different eye – that’s what happened to me and it resulted in my ah- ha moment!
- Now is also not the time to think you can do everything by yourself Go get help – its not a sign of failure or guilt Help can come from may sources Mentor – bounce off ideas. Get advice Coach – for a structure approach to your job search Even from your own network – best source for new career opportunities
