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

 

Getting the News of the Layoff

 

Preparing for the impact

 

Even if you went through ALL the steps in the first section of this tutorial in preparing for this potential day, it simply won't matter. Based on the personal experiences of many job-seekers who have lost their jobs, we can pretty much guarantee that getting the actual news is going to have a major impact.

 

And for some people, the impact is a delayed one, so even if you keep your composure during the meeting and are able to pack your office and leave with your head held high, be prepared for that moment when the impact will hit you -- because it will.

 

Use your family and friends as cushions for the impact of the blow from a layoff.
