Post-termination plan: 6 required steps

1. Dismissal is not a tragedy, but your chance to change your life for the better

Whatever the reasons for dismissal, keep calm and only calm! Yes, losing your job is a way out of your comfort zone, but then your fate is in your hands again. Consider the situation as a chance to change your life for the better, and not as a tragedy. Do not hesitate, after a while you will remember this with a smile and be glad that everything turned out that way.

Remember: dismissal does not mean that you are a poor specialist - just now you are not on the way with the old company. Focus on your strengths - this will not only increase your self-esteem, but also help you realize your competitive advantages in the labor market.

2. Get some rest

There is a possibility - go on a trip, no - give yourself at least a few days of respite. Go to the zoo with your child or friends, visit your parents, arrange friendly gatherings, go outdoors. And by all means tell friends and acquaintances about your freedom: word of mouth is a very effective channel for finding a job.

It will be great if you find the strength to thank the former employer and colleagues - you may be able to maintain good relations or even improve bad ones. Just remember all the best that has happened to you over the years of work, what you have learned and what you have achieved.

3. Set your goals

Having put in order the emotions, decide on the direction of the search: the labor market today offers various employment options, including freelance and remote work. Perhaps it is time to earn income from your hobby or move into a whole new field? Or maybe you have grown to your own business? Then it's time to decide on a market niche and draw up a business plan.

If you decide to continue to work for hire - excellent, start your search!

4. Use a break for training

Sign up for vacancies and study salary reviews. Perhaps you were underpaid at an old job and a specialist of your competence is significantly more expensive. Job descriptions will also tell you what knowledge you need to draw on. Use a break in work for training and professional development.

To write or not to write a farewell letter?

The tradition of writing a farewell letter to colleagues on the last business day came to Russia only recently. Is it worth wasting time and e-mailing words of gratitude to already former co-workers? To the last day at the old job was another step forward, listen to the recommendations. Why is this needed? To decide whether or not to write a farewell letter to colleagues, answer two questions for yourself. First, do you want to maintain business (or maybe friendship) relationships with colleagues in the future?

Having parted with colleagues on a positive note, you will be ready for new meetings and, possibly, for joint projects in the future. The second question is whether you are ready to spend time and effort and write a truly informative, rather than formal, letter? So that every reader understands you and your motives, so that everyone you
