People need to earn money to lead their livelihood, and their families and also meet their basic needs. For this, they do a job or a business according to their skill and ability. For those who do jobs, especially private jobs, they always have a risk of losing it. Getting appointed in a job brings joy to the person and also to his family but at the same time, losing a job can be a painful experience for a person which gets him to strain to run his family and livelihood. The job can be lost due to the person`s not able to meet company expectations or if the company runs badly in business, it may think of cutting off employees from the company who cut-off can fall as a cut-off person.
But mental preparation needs to be taken by an employee especially so that his job can be sacked. Losing a job, the mental stress and pain is true but at the same time, steps must be taken consoling oneself to progress in life to take another job.
Some steps which can be taken when the job is lost are given below:
Stay mentally stable and maintain a scheduled life
The disappointment created due to the loss of a job will make a person mentally unstable. But at this time he needs to counsel himself to keep him mentally strong and stout by inheriting positivity inwards. At this time, the person can spend time with his family, and seek mental support and positive behavior from the family members and this can help a lot to reduce negativity in his mind and make him a stable person.
Apart from these, he should not forfeit his routine of life on account of depression. He should exercise regularly, eat good foods, and not feel much tension about the family or an expectation of when he will get his next job. A scheduled life may help him to reduce the tension to a great extent.
Assessing the expenses and financial expression
An assessment of finances is necessary since at this time, the person lacks the ongoing cash flow or an assurance of getting monthly fees and maintaining a regular life. He should think of reducing expenses in areas where it was a lavishness before but is now a liability. He should follow the statement, ‘Cut your coat according to your clothes’. So, if he organizes his expenses and lives by spending only on necessary things, it will help to overcome the period until he gets his next job.
A concerning control on resume and linked in profile
At this bad period of joblessness, a resume and LinkedIn profile are very important tools. Preparing a resume for a job is a crucial task. At this time, a person must focus on preparing a resume for different companies where he will apply to get a job. He should keep his LinkedIn profile up to date and since Linked In is a great platform for finding jobs, he should stay connected to it.
Ensuring appropriate connectivity
Connectivity and network at this time is no doubt important. A person should seek help or recruitment from senior people of various companies with whom he or she is quite compassionate. It may be throughout his job life in different companies, he has come across a lot of seniors to whom he or she can tell of his joblessness and seek an appointment. Besides, he can counsel his friends on accounting job-related matters to get help.
Moreover, he can look into the job websites for jobs and thus maintain a proper search all over.
The period of losing a job is no doubt. But the reality is that life has ups and downs and as a person, it is a downfall. At this time, proper mental support is essential, and also at the same time proper connectivity and networking need to be maintained and keep oneself in search of a job until getting the next job.
