My heart goes out to all the unemployed and recent unemployed. I know some people who recently lost their job. I dedicate this post to them.
Just when you think you are doing OK and set for life, life throws a sucker punch at you. Just get up and evaluate the situation. You will feel anger and say why me what happened I did not see this coming or you did see it coming but did not want to accept it. Just keep your energy positive now and stay focused on how you will handle the situation. Network with all your friends and former co-workers to get the word out that you are available. Never give up no matter how discouraging it gets. Every time you take a fall getup and keep on trying. Tenacity is the key to your success. Just keep on chasing your dreams. Dreams do come true never stop believing.
A tip career wise: Always reinvent yourself and keep current and remember nothing is forever at times, it will prepare you better to handle sucker punches when life gives you one.
Stay positive everything has a purpose in life. Find it!!!
