Now What Do I Do

Were You Down-sized By A Corporation?

You wake up Monday and after 20 years of getting up, dressed, reading the paper, kissing the wife goodbye and heading off to work you are faced with no place to go. You are out of work due to corporate downsizing.

Now What you ask yourself? What is going to be my next step?
You go down to the traditional path which looks like this?
1st month- Shock and awe. You can’t believe what just happened.
2nd Month- You exhaust all your colleague and friends who said they want to help you but can’t do much at this time.
3rd month- hit the internet hard. Linkedin, Facebook, Indeed, Monster, Career builders. You find your floating in cyber space
4th month – Internet and networking become you routine. The good news you have time to get those projects done around the house you have been waiting for.
5th month More of the same. You are getting good at this.
6th-9th month you start research other options. Starting your own business, buying a business or buying an existing franchise. Oh I forgot playing the lottery!
10th through…. You are now knee deep in your journey sorting out the various options. Your internet becomes your friend in the middle of the night. Opportunities are overwhelming.
