Being fired? how to find work after.
“The key to a successful transition is not to panic,” advises Doug Matthews, president of Right Management, a consulting firm in human resources in Philadelphia.
Finding a job after being fired suddenly due to an overall cut jobs, a crisis, or a sale of your business requires careful planning, despite the urgency of the task may seem.
“The key to a successful transition is not to panic,” advises Doug Matthews, president of Right Management, a consulting firm in human resources in Philadelphia.
Evaluate your finances
Identify and prioritize your bills and debts. If you need cash immediately, you may need to take a temporary job for a while. “You can give a sense of productivity and be a good source of experience,” says Matthews.
Create a search strategy
Despite the need to launch a quick search, “not a good idea to send applications to the market without thinking about it before,” says Matthews.
Be specific about the position you want and set your sights on where companies want to work. If there is an onslaught of professionals seeking employment in their field, be creative in deciding where to apply. Consider a smaller company or another industry that might need your skills.
Determine how much better their work
Check with executive recruiters, employment consultants and others in positions similar to what you’re looking to determine what wages and benefits can be expected. If you are part of an industry that is contracting in general, make a list of your skills and identify those that may be useful in industries that are growing. Consider that you may have to accept earn less, if you come from an industry with high salaries. In return you can earn more stability, experts say.
Practice your presentation speech
No matter how fast you need to get a job, be sure to take at least 72 hours to process their emotional reaction after losing his job. Do not rush, but rather practice your opening statement until no traces of anxiety and negative feelings. Practice it with friends or family, then a trusted colleague or mentor. A successful job search depends in part on how to present himself.
Create and post your resume
A resume is your cover letter to work. Highlight your major achievements and concrete results of those achievements. Try posting on forums specific job. Likewise, make sure it reaches the hands of recruiters. “You do not want to leave anyone without contact,” advises John A. Challenger, president of placement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas.
Do not contact until you have more power
Make a list of contacts who know of his college and previous jobs, including charities or voluntary organizations that have participated. Please contact and tell them what type of position you are looking for, but “never ask anyone to give you a job,” says Matthews. “Instead, ask information and to contact you with other people.”
