Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes discussed how one should handle job loss.

People lose their jobs and may find themselves in a position where they cannot find a job that is as good as the one they lost.  What is important, however, is what people do when they are in this position.  According to Harrison many people completely blow it when it comes to reestablishing their careers, which is not the right way to handle it.

The possibility of losing work can happen to any person and it can throw your career off the tracks. Without work, most people become very confused and do not know what to do. Many people start reestablishing their careers the wrong way. However, what one needs to do in such a situation is to look around for the right opportunity. There is valuable information and material available to all of us–often right in front of us, and we can take advantage of this at any time we are ready.  All that is needed is a little ingenuity, and you will see many of these opportunities open right up to you.

Today, all around us there are great businesses starting up while other businesses fall by the wayside.  There are great careers commencing while other careers fade into obscurity.  There are people who are making the most of the situation, and there are those who will seem to disappear when they lose their jobs.  You do not need to fade into obscurity.  Instead, realize that there are opportunities right before you, and all you must do to see them is look.

He who sees true opportunities shall always prosper.  People of ingenuity are not limited by the economy, their employer’s favor, or where they live.  Their mind creates abundance all around them, no matter what others and the world may do.
