You got let go, and now it feels like there's an eternity of uncertainty ahead of you. How do you schedule your time and your efforts? I don't know where to start, and I feel so lost. I guess I'm going to need a little time to let the fact settle in. How long after you lost your job did you resume efforts to find one? And how long till you got another one?

I started after a week. I like to give myself some time to process and to breathe a little. The longest I spent job hunting was from four to six months until I found the next one.

I'm on week two of unemployment and still haven't been able to bring myself to open my resume and start updating it. I'm so stressed and anxious that even that feels daunting, even though I know I absolutely have to do it. I'm promising myself that this weekend is the weekend I make it happen. I need to be ready to start applying first thing Monday morning.

Probably a month passed before I got serious about looking. You will find your new normal, and it’s ok that it changes as you go through the process.

Hi Fishes,

I just received an offer from a company I was interviewing at. However, they are rushing things and asking me to sign the offer letter ASAP.

Can you please guide me on how do I use this offer to get an even higher total compensation? Do I accept the offer and then appear for other interviews? Do I tell them to wait? Need guidance.

Thanks!!!
