Coping with Job Loss

Make a Plan

Ideally, you would make a plan before leaving your current place of employment—or at least have parts of it in place. So for those of you still in a job—start thinking about what you would do if you found yourself out of one all of a sudden! The plan should include making decisions about the next career choice you want to make. Make sure your resumé is up-to-date and reflects not only the jobs you've had, but emphasizes the skill set that can take you to your next employment opportunity.
