WHAT TO DO THE MONTH AFTER YOU’RE LAID OFF
-
Follow the HR managers of your target companies on Twitter. It’s often the first way to hear about new jobs. Friend them on Facebook too. Let them hear your name and be familiar with who you are.
-
Don’t just stand there. Write a blog, make comments on forums or the Facebook profiles of the companies you’re interested in, create your own website, attend workshops, conferences and anything inspiring. At this point, it is important to avoid isolation and self pity. Keep the sulking for family and friends and, even then, stop moaning and get moving after a week or two.
