Voted Out Of A Job? It May Not Be So Bad.(A)(NEWS FOR YOU)
Byline: Lia Haberman
Getting laid off is a little like having the tribal councilvote you off "Survivor." Sure, you no longer have a chance at the big prize, but you can finally start living like a human being again while the rest of your teammates, er, co-workers continue to sweat it out under extreme conditions.
You may even receive a compensation package. And once you've recovered from theexperience, it seems like there are plenty of other opportunities waiting for you.
But the "Survivor" contestants will soon learn that making guest appearances isn't enough to earn a living. And unfortunately you aren't the only one whose fire has been extinguished.
More than 400,000 layoffs have been announced in the first three months of thisyear, triple the amount in the same period last year, according to international outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Being laid off may provide some temporary relief from the frantic pace at the office, but you don't want to take yourself out of the game for too long. Thereare a lot of other qualified candidates out there searching for work, so it's important to keep yourself valuable and desirable while unemployed, says AndreaKay, executive coach and author of "Interview Strategies That Will Get You theJob You Want."
