History is generous with examples, and there are many successful people whose achievements began with being fired. 

Steve Jobs  was asked to leave a billion-dollar company that he built from scratch.

Oprah was fired from her reporter position early in her career.

Walt Disney was dismissed for lack of imagination and fresh ideas.

 We read these stories and hope it doesn't happen to us, but what if it does and we hear the words «fired» or «cannot renew the contract»?

It's normal in this situation to feel anger, loss, rage, fear, and emptiness. Take the time to say goodbye to this stage of your life. Yes, it hurts. Yes, it's disappointing. Yes, it's unbearable. But what if only through being fired do you get a chance?

Here are some ways that will help you review and start moving forward:

1. Try to figure out what went wrong.

Most likely, you were not given a precise reason for the dismissal, but it's important to try to figure it out. You need to make a list of your strong professional and personal qualities and a list of those that need to be developed.

2. Assess your chances and make an action plan.

Most likely, you will hasten to find another job with the same job responsibilities. But first, you need to rethink and envision a job that would bring you joy: what the schedule should be, whether it should be online or offline, what the team should be like, what salary you expect, what field of activity, etc.?

After you've answered the above questions, it's time to start looking for a job.

Before publishing a resume, tidy up your social media profiles. Because future employers might review them before an interview. At the same time, specify that you are looking for a job and use your social connections for the search, remember the «six degrees of separation» rule.

3. Think about how to use your time effectively.

It may take you some time to find a job. What will you do during this period: freelance, volunteer, study for new skills development or obtain certifications – it's up to you. The main thing is that you clearly understand all this brings you closer to the goal – to find a job that suits you 100%.
