When announcement of a layoff occurs, choose to focus on activity that creates opportunity, and feelings of caring abundance.  It is a deliberate time of focus when we realize we have choices and must regularly engage in productive activity and thought more than counter productive guilt, fear, or sorrow..

Layoffs stink.  Remember you've been gaining a wealth of work experiences, a whole lot longer than you will be laid off. Stay connected to what makes you compelling with or without this job-- and network with more possibility people like yourself.


      TIPS TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE FROM NEWS OF A REDUCTION IN FORCE LAYOFF:

      Choose to care and stay Connected.  Don't 
      hide yourself , stay connected to opportunity and people who remember your talents, and approach life with optimism. 

      Cultivate Opportunity.
      Energize Career Mojo   Trust that persistant, consistent action, will result in opportunity that leverages your unique skill set.   It is already waiting to be discovered. Invest more time creating a picture for what it is you desire to do, than worry about why this news is a doomsday death spiral. Unproductive worry stalls all forward progress.

      Change is a good vehicle to  Affirm your best Attributes !  Update and polish your career portfolio- examples of the work you would like to continue, refresh your references, your endorsements, your resume , your social networking. 

      Most jobs are found through networking, make sure to be leveraging the URL to your professional profile on LinkedIn.  Many put a LinkedIn Profile URL on personal calling cards, so that ones professional experience, blogs, and resume takes greater life with the endorsements of colleagues. 

      In times of a layoff, many people suffer the personal fears of what if-- what if they lose their job, what will they do with the guilt of surviving.  Guilt is highly over-rated, appreciation is priceless. Give that which you would like to receive.   Endorse those leaders that you have appreciated on the way..

      Consider the Best Case Scenarios!  Start searching for a new job right away. Do not wait for Helping Friends Career Network to list a job in your area, fill out a complete profile, and then request Extra Care to help market your profile to attract the types of opportunity you desire.

      Join our global LinkedIn Group at http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/117106 Or Create a band of "colleagues" optomist group where you share in career portfolio review, tuning, practice interviewing and job search optimization..  do this to stay in touch, and you will keep forward momentum, and not lose that feeling of familiar "accountability to shared business objectives".
