Being "Laid off" is tough emotionally. However, generally it's not about you, it's a business decision, even more so in these difficult times. Your article makes great references to the things you should do. Always have your severance package reviewed by an employment lawyer before you sign off. I am currently dealing with many clients who are going through downsizing. Be sure you choose an outplacement company who will provide you with an outstanding, enticing and seductive résumé, sound coaching and be available when you need some consolation. Build your network, invariably your next appointment will be secured through networking or directly marketing yourself to a decision maker at one of the companies you target. Stay focused, stay on track, best of luck. Good article.
