You've
lost your job. It's important to remember
that others have survived the same situation.
What are you going to do? Hopefully this
information can help you, but first you must
be willing to take some steps yourself.
You must be willing to carefully examine yourself,
consider all of your options, and then take
the appropriate action.
This
may be the first time in your life that you
have the opportunity to actually take a look
at yourself, to really think about your values
and priorities, and choose from your career
options. This is not easy, but the end
result is worth it. Counselors can help
give you directions, but only you know yourself.
Some points for you to consider are:
-
What
skills do I have to offer an employer?
Where can I use these skills?
-
What
do I enjoy doing? Can I find a way
to get paid for doing the things I like
to do? What working conditions do
I enjoy? Do I like to work with other
people, or work outdoors, or use machinery?
-
How
much money must I earn to support the lifestyle
I want for my family? Can I compromise?
-
Does
the local area meet my needs? (Find out
what jobs are in demand locally; read newspaper
ads, both local and out-of-town (out-of-town
newspapers are available in the library)
talk with the local Employment
Development Department office).
-
If
I don't want to relocate out of the county
I reside in, how can I compromise?
-
How
does my spouse and/or family feel about
this, and what do they expect from me?
