Rethink----
Rethink your situation. Are you in a field that offers
new opportunities? Or do you have change careers? Are your
skills transferable to another industry or
field? Perhaps you will have to retrain or go
back to school. If so, you may be eligible for a training
grant from the US Department of Labor (Get information
from your local One Stop Career
Center). Or you might
train for a Green Job. Or maybe it's time to reach back
and follow your true dreams. It's never too
late.

Retooling.........Retool
by having the best tools at your fingertips. Start by
redoing your resume
or getting professional help from a coach. When doing your
resume, think about accomplishments
or the results of your work. Think numbers (How
many?), amounts (How much money?) and/or percentages.
Retool by learning the most up-to-date methods of
job search including the Internet. Learn how to interview.

Recharge....
Be positive. In every adversity, something
positive can come out of it. After being downsized, for
example, many of my clients have gone on to better careers
or even started businesses. So..put some positive energy
into thinking about the future. Recharge yourself by
believing in your possibilities!
