The greatest fear among employers is to loose their job. But what should one do, if the greatest of the fears is materialized. The most common reaction is to resort to panic and close oneself in a state of depression, when the best way out is to take the fact calmly and to think of possible solutions. First of all, you should recall all of the competitors. Try to find businesses that are most related to what you have done. But be sure not to submit your resume to the personnel department or to call them. Try to address the authority directly, offering your services n a business like way. Your experience and your skills will play their role in your employment. Be sure to inform about your experience, use references and useful acquaintances, mention all of your skills and abilities. However try to picture yourself in a good light omitting details that might be used by your potential employer to lower your cost at the job market. If the authority tries to get to the emotional part of your failure, forget about a successful career in this company. You will be constantly reminded about it. Instead try to find a good place in the company that is smaller. This also will help you to rest from the overwhelming noise and rapid tempo of work that makes you feel stressed out. In fact, the statistics says that there is more chance for an employee to professionally grow in a smaller but rapid-growing company, than to get promoted among thousands of colleagues. In these companies flexible and willing people are greatly appreciated. However this option might also be closed to you for some reason. What to do next? Try to find whatever employment possible to cover the bills. You may become a freelancer or get employed on the contract basis with some company. This is a 'part-time job' solution. Companies find it easier to hire professionals in terms of contract to take off the responsibility and be sure of the quality of the work done. Part-time job may become a stable employment if you want to earn for a living, but if you feel like returning to the routine you got used to, part-time employment will give you the opportunity to look for a good full-time job you have always dreamed of. Remember, good offers will not be falling into your hands; you have to hunt them down! Be sure not to include your part-time job into your resume, unless the skills you acquired are useful for your future. |
