re: I lost my job yesterday.

I'm sorry to hear that you've lost your job. That's a very disruptive experience. Things will improve. You will work again. Hopefully, you will find a job that is more satisfying and more closely aligned with your long-term goals than your previous position. This will pass.

Keep your daily routine,your new job is looking for a job. Take your normal work hours and spend those job hunting every day.

Depending on your career/profession, you can leverage LinkedIn. In my profession, all I would have to do is make a status update that I am currently looking for a new company and I have X qualifications; recruiters would do the rest and reach out.

Hang in there. Don’t mope. Update resume. Reach out to recruiters (they get paid to get you a job) and business connections to job leads.

Lastly, stop looking at porn at work.

What’s your field?

I know plenty of recruiters throughout the country (and some overseas).

Be happy to help if I can.

This is a perfect example of how not taking pride in your job results. I’ve always gotten to work early, left a little late, dressed equal to or better than my superiors, and was always 100% sober. Those simple things provide security.

Also, never trying to be the ‘cool guy’ in the office to co-workers. It’s not freaking high school. So many people don’t get this. Work is not a place to ‘hang out’.

Get to the unemployment office today and file. The clock doesn’t start until you do and there will be a few weeks for a waiting period before it kicks in.

Get online and Google Image search for resumes of people who do what you do. Click on ones you like and construct your resume.

When your resume is good enough, sign up and post it on Monster, Indeed, Next and any other similar service.

Get on LinkedIn and become searchable as well. There is a lot to setting up a good profile and it will take many revisions until it’s really good. Grow your connections as fast as you can.

This won’t all be done in a day. More like a continuous effort as you get better on tweaking your resume and more knowledgeable about making a good LinkedIn.

If you are not getting any activity, your approach is off so hire a place to redo your resume, cover letter and LinkedIn. It may cost you $250-$500 for the service with a guarantee you’ll be contacted for an interview within 60 days of getting it out there and online.

First interviews are usually a phone screening or a video interview.

Or hire a service right away, if you have what you think is a good resume. It will take 1-3 weeks with revisions for them to get it done.

Good Luck

How old are you? The military is hiring.

You could also have floated out what kind of work you do (as several have already asked). You never know who might read it and be interested in hiring you. Good luck.

If you would let people know what you trade or profeddion is,you would get better suggestions
