Being informed you are no longer employed is one of the most stressful experiences an individual can undergo.The immediate priority is to deal with the aftershock. You have to be careful what you say or do or you may seriously damage your prospects for reemployment later on. Avoid the following:

Emotional outbursts or arguments with the ex-employer. They serve no purpose and may harden the company’s stance against you in regard to severance issues. Your first impulse may be to want an explanation, but the employer is under no obligation to let you know their reasoning. You may need the ex-employer for a reference, even though fewer companies are giving references these days. In our experience, people are discharged usually because someone in authority no longer likes them. Other “official versions” are given but the reason usually comes down to likability.

The urge to sue the former employer. Trying to “get even” by suing an employer can be extremely damaging to your career. A lawsuit against the ex-employer may effectively turn you into a non-person in the job market. Before entertaining any thoughts of suing, ask yourself how you would react if you were an employer with several qualified candidates, one of whom turns out to have sued a former employer.

“Dumping” on your family when you get home. It’s not their fault you were discharged and they should not be made to bear the brunt of your frustration. You may say things in the heat of anger that will impair your relationships with the family. Do not take that chance.

Do not make the mistake of trying to hide the discharge. Tell your family what has happened. Keep it factual and to the point. Engage and involve each family member in your search campaign. Tell them you fully expect to find another job. Especially where children are concerned, trying to conceal a discharge can have damaging effects. You do not want them to over hear it “on the grapevine.”

Immediately find a close friend, a confidante to whom you can ventilate your feelings. That is critical for your emotional recovery. You have to let your negative feelings out and not bottle them up.

Take a “cooling off” period from the job market. Job seekers frequently make the mistake of reentering the job market too soon. Use the cooling off period to regroup your thoughts and chart your plans for the ensuing job search, including preparing your resume.

School yourself to think positively. It may be hard at first but you have to regard your situation positively. You have not been fired; you have been given an opportunity to start over in a better job somewhere else.

Establish a daily routine. Beware of developing a tendency toward idleness by keeping busy. The regular business hours should be devoted to interviewing on a non-stop basis. Make your preparations for the next day’s interviews the prior evening so that you do not waste time during the business day.

Keep up your normal social contacts. Try not to hide from the world. There is no shame attached to being unemployed, especially now when so many people have become victims of mass layoffs through no fault of their own.

The contacts you make on social occasions can provide important job leads so you should not wall yourself off from those sources.
Do not take a vacation. It doesn’t sound good to employers that you were snorkeling in the Bahamas instead of looking for work.

Draw up a budget that conserves your assets. Start out with a basic spending plan that includes mortgage or rent, auto payments, food, insurance, gasoline and the expenses of job hunting. If you have income left over, then budget for other expenses on a priority basis. By the way, job hunting expenses well documented may be tax deductible as long as you are seeking a job in the same field as your last.
