Lay off tips

I was reviewing some other articles as earlier we were discussing termination and the effect that can have on people in the workforce.  Though never an easy thing to deal with, there are certain steps that allow for making the process a little more palatable.  A quick review lists the following:

  • Deal with the emotional fallout
  • Take practical steps
  • Take Stock of your Career
  • Give resume a fresh look
  • Start Networking
  • Develop a daily action plan

Read the entire article and get the details of what some people say are the best ways to handle the layoff.

Of all of the subject matter that is discussed in this list, the daily action plan is the best.  I often find that most people do not have a plan that consists outside the norm of applying for jobs online and sending resumes out in the mail.  In 2008, those tactics simply do not work nor count as an acceptable strategy for finding a new job.  Learn how to apply online, pick up some tips on networking, as well as how to seperate yourself will help you with a baseline for finding your next role.
