So you’ve just been fired, and you don’t want to hear nothing about, “Everything will be OK” or “You’ll get something bigger and better.”
But you will.
Even the best of the best have been fired and have become greats, from Sean “Diddy” Combs to Michael Vick to Wendy Williams. Sometimes career fails lead you to the right position to facilitate true greatness.
Brazen Careerist offers a strategy that can get you back on track in 30 days or less:
1. Evaluate: An important first step after being fired is to evaluate yourself and where you stand. Take a look in the mirror and think about the work you’ve done for the organization, how successful it was and why you are valuable.
Then, reach out to colleagues or an HR representative from your former company and ask for their feedback. Why were you let go? How can you improve your work? What are your strengths and weaknesses?
This internal and external feedback on your performance is essential to help you evaluate where you stand and what you have to offer a new employer as you start your job search.
