Rebounding After a Layoff Tutorial:
How to Successfully Re-Enter the Job Market After Being Fired, Downsized, or Laid Off

 

Returning to the Job Market: Job-Search Success

 

Establishing daily and weekly job-search goals

 

In any job-search it is important to set specific goals you want to accomplish each day of the search. Be realistic. Have as a goal making five follow-up phone calls and uncovering two new job leads rather than some more unrealistic like having three job interviews.

 

Stick to your goals -- make them happen -- and then reward yourself for each step you take that brings you closer to your ultimate goal of a new job.
