Know someone looking for work? Please pass along:
Within a year, Andy lost three jobs because of downsizings or mergers. In all cases his performance wasn’t at issue—he was a hard worker.
You would think that after the third layoff Andy would become upset or dejected, perhaps even giving up.
If he did, he didn’t show it.
Andy had a plan and he continued to work his plan. Whenever we met he was positive and had ideas about what he could be doing for the coming week.
I’m know Andy had bad days, but he didn’t let them get him down. He didn’t need to seek professional help, but if you need help please consider doing so. When prospective employers asked him about his changes, he was honest. He also had secured references from each of his employers.
Andy did land another and has been doing exceptionally well ever since. Throughout his challenges he kept his focus on what he could control and kept focused on making progress every day.
To the degree you can, take some inspiration from Andy. Keep working. Keep networking. Keep up a positive attitude.
