Losing your job because you have been fired can be a traumatic experience. In many cases the firing will cost you to lose your primary source of income. While in other scenarios the firing may cause you to temporarily lose your identity. Many people especially men tie their identity to their job.
Furthermore, getting fired can be difficult to deal with because it seems to suggest that you did something wrong or that you didn't meet the expectations of your previous employer. The most important thing to do after a firing is to allow yourself time to heal. As with any traumatic event you must give yourself time to heal before you move on. Your healing time should be at least a day or two initially.
After you have completed your initial healing you need to apply for unemployment benefits, make a budget, and immediately start your new job search. Applying for unemployment benefits immediately will position you to receive income as soon as possible while you begin your job search. It is equally important that you make a budget or monitor your spending closely if you are unsure of where your next dollar may come from. In Part II of The Aftermath of Being Fired, I will discuss the next steps you must take to move forward.
