Tips for job candidates

1. First and foremost, refrain from making any decisions while still in shock.

2. Recognize that you’ll go through the 4 phases of crisis psychology: Shock, Reaction, Processing, and Reorientation.

3. This process often takes 4-6 weeks.

4. Remember, despite everything, it’s just a job, and there are plenty of opportunities available in the market.

5. Avoid acting out of panic—give yourself time to regain your footing.

6. Talk to those closest to you; don’t keep things to yourself, especially not in secrecy.

7. Organize your daily routine (if you’re at home) to maintain structure; otherwise, time can slip away.

8. Define your specific job goals before pursuing your next opportunity.

9. Utilize your network to understand your market value and to get closer to your next job opportunity.
