Kirk Scott discusses the stages of unemployment grief, arguing there are six stages rather than the typical five stages of grief. The six stages are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, and resilience. Scott provides examples of how each stage may manifest and advice on moving through each stage in a healthy manner. Key lessons discussed include growing your network, expanding your skills, keeping your resume updated, researching job trends, and developing side gigs to increase resilience for potential future unemployment.
