Losing a job is like getting into a high-speed auto accident. It is likely not your fault at all, but you are traumatized by the event. One of my friends lost sleep and 5 lbs in a week, although she didn’t like her job at all. It is a complex and stressful experience. However, there are eight steps you can take to recover and move forward in your professional journey:
Take time to grieve: Allow yourself time to process the emotions that come with losing a job. It’s okay to feel sad, angry, or confused. Talk to family members, friends, or other employees to hear their advice or insights, or take time alone in solitude.
Reflect on the experience: Take the time to reflect on your previous experience and go through what went well and what didn't. Learn from the pros and cons and use that knowledge for the future. Please don’t blame yourself for any mistakes.
