Out of work, NOT out of WORTH. You have just entered the land known as Unemployment. There is a signpost up ahead. It reads, WHAT NEXT? Whatever had been the previous condition is no more. That way of life is gone. You'll be faced with questions and uncertainty. "Why was I let go?" "How will I face the future with no income, nothing to look forward to?" "How long will I be out of work and what will I do to survive until I find a new job?" With these questions comes a flood of emotions that can overwhelm you to where you wonder what it will take to just make it through the day. Your identity is shaken to the core based on what is no longer there. Who and what will emerge as time passes? Changes in life are inevitable. Your WILL to survive the change before you is supported by the WAYS in which you cope with transition. In this book are tools for navigating through the uncharted territory that exists between an ending and a new beginning. With knowledge of self-worth comes resilience-knowing that one can survive changes. I have written this book to share how changes and the transitions accompanying them can be addressed in positive ways. This book is aimed at providing those who are experiencing a change in work status with specific tools for dealing with this challenging time in their lives. It is written to address the psychological effects of job loss and to help provide the reader with resilience, a well-thought-out plan, and a positive outlook during their search for employment.
