\"cindy<\/a>You did it. \u00a0You made a mistake. \u00a0Now what?<\/p>\n

Trust me, it is not the end of the world — even if you did something illegal, immoral or unethical (though, if this is the case, it will be a bumpier road ahead). \u00a0There is life after being fired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This does not need to be the end of the road. \u00a0You are not the first person in the world to get fired.<\/p>\n

First, sort out your emotions<\/strong>. \u00a0Take a breath. \u00a0Tell your family. \u00a0If there is something you need to address or apologize for, get it done.<\/p>\n

This does not need drag you through the mud or scar you for life.<\/p>\n

Second, if there is a behavior or attitude you need to address, decide if you want to address it or not<\/strong>. \u00a0Only you can do that.<\/p>\n

Know that if you are an ogre who eats people for breakfast or you are the world’s cruelest boss, you have two clear choices: \u00a01) \u00a0Find a job where it is OK to eat people and be cruel; or 2) Take an honest look at your behavior and the feedback you received. \u00a0Then decide — do I want to learn to alter my behavior or do I deem this behavior as acceptable. \u00a0And, by acceptable I mean it will not interfere with your life and future career plans.<\/p>\n

Or if you’re thinking, “I am not an ogre, this was a minor infraction. \u00a0I was late for work again. \u00a0In fact, I am so mad I could spit nails because this is so unfair. \u00a0I can’t believe someone would fire me for this tiny thing.”<\/p>\n

Again, you have two choices: \u00a0find a job where this “tiny thing” is acceptable or learn from what happened, alter your behavior and move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

I get it. \u00a0MOVING FORWARD MAY NOT BE EASY, but you can do it.<\/p>\n

This may be a very emotional time.\u00a0 Being without a job is tough.<\/p>\n

Even if you lost your job through no fault of your own due to a layoff, there will be stress and emotional highs and lows. \u00a0I will say it again, and I do it with love and concern, this does not need to be the end of the world as you have known it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are many resources and services to help you. \u00a0If you want help, you can find it.<\/p>\n

The resources and services from Career Centers<\/a>, counselors and coaches<\/a> abound.<\/p>\n

My hope and prayer for you is simple: \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

May you move forward quickly. \u00a0May you never stop believing in you. \u00a0And, may you never feel that you must\u00a0walk this path alone.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, may you pause and not despair, may you see value in your unique gifts.<\/em><\/p>\n

May you share your amazing talent and skills with your family, a new employer and the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

May your career shine bright and may you light the world with your gifts, your work and your life.<\/em><\/p>\n

You CAN find help no matter the reason you are seeking a new job– even if you were fired. \u00a0Your first step? \u00a0Decide you are ready to move forward. \u00a0Then take specific, consistent action and land a new job.<\/p>\n
