Analysis of the situation
No new business can begin without preparation. When you are left without work, you need to collect your thoughts and conduct a complete inventory of your skills, skills, strengths and weaknesses. An adequate assessment of the available data will help you not to lose with the new job and not stay for a long time with the status of the unemployed.
Think about why you were fired into the crisis? It's one thing when you asked all or almost all employees from your past job because of bankruptcy, but a completely different situation if selection was selective. Perhaps you are not the worst specialist, but maybe you do not have enough initiative, self-confidence, some skills, or you just fell under the hot hand of the bosses? The earlier you become aware of your weaknesses, the sooner you eliminate them, which means that you will come to a new job more prepared and less vulnerable.
Be ready to spend some time and money for further training. Perhaps you should learn English or attend a professional seminar that will help you to quickly master a new skill, especially if you are going to change the field of activity.
Where to look
The question of where to find the best job, if there was a firing of employees in a crisis, is particularly acute. There can be several options. First, now is the time to connect old connections. Think, which of friends, acquaintances, relatives, former colleagues and partners could help you. Maybe some clients of the firm where you worked recently would be willing to get you to them? Often the links solve the problem of employment.
But if there are no such opportunities, you will have to try. Connect all available resources - search for ads in newspapers and on specialized sites. Even now they are full of various proposals for work. But be careful, among other things, in difficult times, the number of scammers is increasing, ready to warm their hands on other people's problems. If you are promised an unburdened job for money, this is most likely a deception.
A good option is public employment services. During the crisis, the state supports specialists and is ready to provide a worthy alternative to qualified personnel. In addition, there are various job fairs, where you can also find the work of your dreams.
And the last option is applying to a recruitment agency. Our citizens have little experience with cooperation with them, so you should know about some of the nuances. In the market there are hundreds of similar firms offering employment. You should know that for the services from the applicant such agencies do not take any reward, so do not buy the tricks of scammers. You have a great chance of finding a job in this way, if you work in the service sector or are a top manager. Often, such agencies are narrowly focused - they are looking for work only in medicine, metallurgy or other spheres.
Common mistakes
Dismissal in the crisis leaves its mark on the way of finding a job. Therefore, take into account all possible shortcomings in order to be fully armed.
First, pay attention to your resume. It should be complete, compiled according to all the rules, maximally reflecting your skills and work experience.
Secondly, now is not the best time to look for work in those areas in which you have not tried yourself. Beginners are now the hardest, their work is paid low, and there are fewer proposals for them.
Thirdly, do not be passive. Do not limit yourself to one way of finding work, connect all the resources, only in this case you will succeed.
And, finally, be ready to make concessions. Perhaps you will get a good job with decent pay, but now is not the time when employers are generous with bonuses, bonuses and insurance. You should understand that stability is more important than superprofits - for them, their time will come later.
Dismissal because of the crisis - this is a great stress, but not a reason for panic, even if you are the owner of an unpaid loan. Reasonable approach, active action and initiative, maximum effort - and you will not stay long in the status of the unemployed. The main thing is to show diligence, to prove yourself at a new place of work and then any peaks will be on your shoulder, despite any crisis.
