Just Fired?
If you have already been dismissed,
start your job search immediately.
Don't wait even a day and, above
all, don't take time off “for a short vacation.”
This could be extremely disadvantageous
in our competitive labor market. |
No Matter Why You Are
Unemployed...
No matter the reason why you
get fired (company
reorganization, looking for better prospects, poor personal
performance, etc.), you must immediately adopt a new and positive
attitude towards your job
search.
It has to be a positive attitude,
even if you have been rejected—whether through being
dismissed from your former employment or from having numerous
job applications rejected.
You may receive many rejections
during the job-search process for a wide variety of reasons
-- whether because a particular company is simply not hiring
or because your qualifications do not match a company's needs
or requirements.
The Right Attitude
to Start a Job Search...
Instead of feeling sorry for
yourself, be prepared to work hard, keeping an objective and
positive attitude. Looking for a job can be more exhausting
than having a job. Whatever you do, do not stop your job search
too early. Even if you have gone to a second or third interview,
do not stop bombarding people with your resume and cover letter.
You will probably be busier during the time that you are looking
for a job than when you are/were employed.
And the Right Tools
Certainly, EasyJob,
maybe the best resume builder
software, will help you a great deal in choosing the most
appropriate job-search strategies and tools, in writing your
resume and cover letter, and in giving you valuable advice
and hints for successful interviews. Free

Keep in mind that the job
resume is the first impression that a prospective
employer has of you and the most crucial step to get you interviews.
So, writing a good
resume is essential in this process. Remember, however,
that once you've completed the EasyJob program,
the all-important second phase begins.
In this second phase, you need
to treat looking for a job as your full-time job: systematically
sending resumes and
cover letters, keeping a record of your job-search activities,
sending general correspondence, evaluating your job-search
strategies, and following up consistently after each contact
and/or interview.
Your New Job
There will be lots to do before
you sit in your new office chair! Nevertheless, while you
are caught up in the intensity of your search; remember to
devote a little time to relaxation and fun for yourself. It
will be good for your mental and physical health.
