In the period from 2000 to 2003, I ...Hang in there. In the period from 2000 to 2003, I was laid off 3 times (11/2000, 11/2001, and 10/2003). I learned that there is ALWAYS another job and that it's important not to get too stressed out in the in-between-jobs period. <BR/><BR/>My completely unsolicited advice is this - take at least 2 weeks and go visit a friend or family member or several friends/family members whom you don't get to see very often. If they live in cool places, so much the better. Priceline is your friend, as is your newfound flexibility. If anyone lives in or around Washington DC, that is a great place to visit because of all the cool, free museums and the excellent public transport.<BR/><BR/>For those two weeks, do not think about finding a job, think about what you want out of life. This is an opportunity to reevaluate and reposition yourself if necessary. <BR/><BR/>The point is two-fold. 1. Don't just say things like "I can take a vacation" or "I can make a career transition" - like Ben Stiller says in Starsky and Hutch "DO IT, JUST DO IT". 2. Your mental attitude is going to play a big role in how you get through the jobless period, so be kind to yourself.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359625931588140579noreply@blogger.com
