Give yourself some time to adjust to your situation or even to feel angry and upset. Get those feelings out and let others help you through those emotions. This is an important step, one that shouldn't be prolonged due to fear and procrastination. The sooner you decide to take action and create a job search plan, the better you will feel and the more motivated you will be throughout your search. Focus on maintaining a healthy attitude.
Every person has an attitude.
Be it good or bad, your attitude will determine how you respond to other people, experiences and challenging situations. During your job search it is important that you remain professional and enthusiastic. Believe it or not, you have the power to choose what attitude course you will take during your journey. If you choose to attack the situation with self-confidence and vigor, you will be perceived as a competent professional who is now looking for new opportunities to grow and contribute. For example, improve your self-confidence by listing your successes in life and realizing how each has helped you become a unique individual with a lot to offer a future employer.
