Feeling depressed about losing your job?
Feeling aimless throughout the day?
Feel like you are never going to find another job?
This is a normal human reaction. Unexpected job loss can be traumatic.
You must realize that the job cut is because of the way the economy is and not your performance.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    here are a few tips to help you keep your sanity and work towards getting your life back on track.

  2. Step 2

    just because you don’t have an office to go to doesn’t mean you can stay up late and sleep in the next day.
    Set your alarm to 9 am so you can start your day bright and early. This will help you stay connected to
    the masses and feel as though you are a part of the mainstream.

  3. Step 3

    Be a go-getter. being passive will only allow you to receive unemployment checks and it won’t provide new opportunities
    so be proactive. although you are between jobs right now, your new job is that of a marketing executive and you are the product.

  4. Step 4

    Take a piece of paper and write down all your strengths, this helps to refresh your memory and stimulate you to market yourself.

  5. Step 5

    Take a look at your resume and see if there is any updates that need to be done.

  6. Step 6

    Make a list of 10 friends, contacts, old colleges, and send them your resume and ask them to send it
    to anyone they think might be able to help.

  7. Step 7

    Don’t stress too much over finding a job and relax while you still have time and do things that you
    normally wouldn’t be doing, exercise more, go out to the park, do some volunteer work.
    there is a possibility you will meet ppl that can help with the job hunting task.
