Do any of the questions listed below sound familiar?
- Why did they choose me? Did I do something wrong?
- Why is everyone that I worked with treating me like a stranger now?
- What do I do now? I haven’t looked for a job in years.
- How long am I going to feel upset and betrayed?
If so, then I’ve designed this ActionPack™ just for you.
Most people are not happy about being laid off. It is not usually a pleasant event and the implications are dramatic. Financial changes are just a part of the overall change and transition. Once laid off, your new job is to hunt for a new job! This transition isn’t easy and can really do a number on even the most confident person’s self confidence.
I designed this ActionPack™ to provide a framework and group of techniques for helping yourself cope with the transition of abruptly leaving your job. One key idea in this pack is to “Choose Forward”. The point is to plan for and take action even when you feel like doing nothing.
My ActionPacks™ are designed to walk you down a Learning Path that provides a working solution to the challenge you're experiencing. The list below provides an overview of this product's content. There are many additional tools, templates, checklists and tips embedded in each step of the process.Move Forward: Survive and Thrive after a Layoff1. Assess the Situation |
