Looking for the perfect job can be hard for many people, but even more so when you have been fired. For many, it can take weeks, even months to come back from that! However, one of the worst things you can do when being fired is wallow in your bad luck. Sure, take a day, or two, to feel bad, but then, it is time to get back up and start that job search.
Studies have shown that the longer you take to get back up after being fired, the harder it will be to get that job search going. Sure, you may have fallen, but you must get back up! After you have taken a couple of days, here are the most important things you can do to get your job search started:
- Time to dust off that resume. Take the time to update it, add some keywords, and make sure that it is ready to go. While you will tweak it based on the positions you apply for, if you take the time to get the basics updated, it will be easier to complete when applying.
- Make a list of those that you can ask to give you a recommendation letter, then contact them. It is important that you get your recommendation letters together before you start applying so they are ready to go.
- Now you can begin searching for the perfect job. Take a moment before you begin your search and make sure that you truly know what job you want. Maybe it is time for a change, or think outside the box for something totally different. You want a position that you are passionate about.
- Start applying for positions that fit what you are looking for – do not apply for every job you see. It is best to be selective and apply only for those that you truly know will make you happy.
