One of the most stressful things that can ever happen to anyone at any point in life is getting sacked from work. Just got fired what do I do now? This the question begging for answers in the minds of anyone in this scenario. The dilemma is mostly how to break the news to your friends and family, how to finance your bills and whether you will get another job soon. You need expert guidance to survive such a scenario. Here are valuable tips.

Take charge of your emotions. It should dawn on you that being sacked from work does not end your career. To easily manage your emotions, record your thoughts and feeling in a journal. It is therapeutic and relieving to share with friend. Choose the supportive ones who will never judge you but instead encourage you. Allowing pressure to pile up may lead to regrettable drastic actions that affect your prospects in future.

Know when and what to fight. One of the options available is suing your employer for wrongful dismissal. However, before taking such a step, exploit all other avenues available. Some battles might prove detrimental to your character especially if it was you who was on the wrong. Know when to hit the court and when to take it easy.

Use the opportunity to take stock of your career. Being out of work gives you a chance to ponder about what employment meant for you and how much you have achieved. Since you have nothing to lose, review what you have gained from employment and make the right decision. When making a decision, focus on moving forward in a positive way.

Ask for a reference from the friendly managers. Appreciate the opportunity to serve in a particular position. Since not all managers have a grudge with you, approach one of them for a referral. Some managers may not be allowed to go on record for giving you a recommendation letter. Request the friendly one to be your referee in your resume.

Do not be burdened by shame. People have been fired from positions bigger and more lucrative than yours. In fact, losing a job happens to almost everyone at a certain point in life. Let guilt not consume you but rather focus on how to get the next good job. This optimism makes it easier to secure another job.

Approach the HR and negotiate a severance package. This is an opportunity to discuss the details of your departure. Demand a dignified exit that will go on record. Ensure that all rules have been followed and all benefits that you are entitled to released. Leave a clean record to protect your future chances at employment. Every word of the exit letter should be discussed to avoid misrepresentation or misinterpretation.

While out of work, you will still be required to pay your bills and meet other financial obligations. Reorganize your finances to reduce expenses and survive until the next job. File for unemployment benefits if the dismissal is not on professional misconduct. Take advantage of all benefits like medical cover, insurance, leave days, etc before they expire or are withdrawn.
