I Just Lost My Job And I Am So Mad!

You have been out of work for five months now. You did nothing wrong. You were one of the better performers, but your boss kept his favorites. It is not fair. You are mad, and you tell your friends how unfair it was. They agree with you, which only builds your anger. To make matters worse, you are having trouble getting interviews. Those that you do get don’t call you back for a second interview. WHY NOT???
Perhaps it is because no one wants to hire an angry person. You are angry at the situation, and you have good reason to be. But, no matter how hard you try to conceal this anger, it shows through in the interview. I have interviewed numerous people who I can tell have a chip on their shoulder, just by the way they walk into my office. I don’t want to hire someone like that. And in today’s economy, I don’t have to.
My suggestion is to delay your anger until you get a new position. Then you can get angry. For now, your focus has to be on getting a job, and in order to do that you need to stay positive. Just like you make sure you wear the right outfit to an interview and your shoes are polished, you must also bring the right attitude. You need to be positive, cheerful, and energetic. You are not a good enough actor to hide your anger. Therefore you can’t be angry.
Here’s what I suggest:
Don’t be angry, and tell your spouse/significant other not to be angry. What happened is in the past, and you and people around you need to look forward. You can’t stay positive if others around you are angry for you. Don’t be afraid to tell them to stop, and tell them why.
Get into a routine. Get up on time, eat breakfast, and then go to the computer and telephone to start your job…which right now is finding a job.
Read the paper first thing in the morning every day.
Start an exercise routine. Physical exercise is good for the body, and great for the mind. (There are numerous articles that support this premise.)
Start a new hobby. Try gardening or woodworking.
Get involved in a charitable organization. Besides giving you something to do, (and this is another venue for networking) you will be exposed to people who are much worse off than you, and most of them have a positive attitude.
So remember, stay positive. When you get your next job, you can get angry then. But maybe, just maybe, you will realize all things worked out for the best. Good Luck.

Career Advice – Spotlight on Networking
The first step? If you don’t like the word “networking” use a new one! Coming across career advice articles on “networking” is easy, and a quick Google search of the word will get you pages of information on how to present yourself, who to contact, and how to carry your business cards. That career advice is well and good, sure, but why not view it as “connecting” or “relating” instead? Meeting new people and building relationships can actually be FUN. And it doesn’t always have to happen w
