After you’re fired!

What would you do if you are fired from your job? Here is what you should do when fired.

Phase- 1

Do not lose temper
This one is for those sizzling temperamental ones — there is no point in getting angry at the situation. If you choose to insult your boss after you are fired, the insult may backtrack on you and you may lose out on other employment opportunities.

Reflect on termination reasons
Try to reflect on the incidents that led to you being fired from the company. This will help you to bring about a change and improvement when you take up another job.

Do not negotiate
Once the pink slip has been handed over, try not to negotiate with your employer to get your job back. This may further force him into disliking you. Also, do not remind him about the times you shared together.

Complete official work
Before you leave the office for good, make sure that all the necessary official transactions and paperwork are complete. There is no point visiting the office after you have been fired. That would make you more depressed and embarrassed.

Phase- 2

Be socially active
No matter how low you feel at this point of time, it is always good to remain socially active. However, do not shy away from attending corporate events and meeting just because you have been fired from your office. Who knows, these very meetings and parties can help you meet your prospective employer.

Read newspapers and journals
A habit of reading newspaper and journal every day is extremely good. It does not keep you abreast with the daily happenings only, but also helps you know what’s new in each of the segments. Additionally, today almost every newspaper has a section which deals with jobs and vacancies.

Keep resume updated
The world has become tech-savvy. There are a number of portals today that allow you to update your resume for employers to know. Go for them and update your resume in each of such websites. — Agencies
