I'm sure you're wondering how there could be such a thing. With so many people losing a job this year (or just worried about their finances) I shared my thoughts on weathering the choppy employment waters with the New York Daily News.
My goal here isn't to tell you about how to rewrite your resume or network--undoubtedly, you know how to do that already. This is more of a "what you might not have considered" list that will help you during the transitory period between one job and the next. Things like looking for a company that fits with your ideals and beliefs, taking a vacation (remember those?) and remembering that getting fired/downsized/laid off isn't necessarily about you.
There are 12 tips in all and I hope you'll find something valuable in them--maybe pass it on to a friend who needs to see the upside of the downside. And there are even more valuable tips, expert ideas and resources over at first30days.com.
As I always say, something good will come. In the meantime, take it one day at a time, and tell me how you're dealing with the challenges today.
