*CAREER [and] LIFE*

January, 2011

Hi everyone! Welcome to the first monthly newsletter and I hope to hear back
from you with feedback. This email, of course, is less about job search and
more about helping you think strategically about your career and life.

So here goes:

*Don't Crawl Under A Rock*
One of the biggest mistakes you can make in a career today is to stop
networking (besides never doing it that is). It is easy to stop after a job
search. And stopping is easy to justify with the demands we all have on our
time.

So what are a few ways to make it easy?

1. *Make yourself available for others.* Let friends know that you are
available to help with career ideas and advice. Contact the leaders of a
few local networking groups - let them know you are available as a mentor
for job-seeking or career seeking members. And that you are open to hosting
a job seeker for an informational interview.

2. *Eat with a stranger*. At least once a week (perhaps every Friday), break
bread with someone new. Start with a list of key people in your company
you'd like to meet. Then begin looking outside your company for new lunch
dates. Use LinkedIn to identify others in your industry or function to meet
for a coffee. If your job were to end in three months, all these
interactions will make for a great start to a job search.

3. *Become a person of influence*. Networking is easier when you are
employed. You have a built-in platform and credibility. SO how do you
maintain a platform when you need it most? You share your subject matter
expertise with others. Write a blog, a white paper or an article for your
industry association. If you like to talk, make yourself available for
conference panels or speaking engagements. When people know you outside your
company, you have a stable platform that will not disappear if you lose your
job.

*The Pursuit of Happiness*
From an article in Psychology
Today<http://e2ma.net/go/6237341155/207101733/210604972/1357933/goto:http://psychologytoday.com/articles/200812/the-pursuit-happiness>by
Carlin Flora, a few thoughts on happiness, how to find it and what
makes
it challenging:

- Not everyone agrees that happiness is a good objective. Some think
that experiencing sadness is important and necessary.
- Experts say happiness is not about smiling all day long. Most experts
agree it is more about satisfaction or contentment. "It encompasses living a
meaningful life, utilizing your gifts and your time, living with thought and
purpose."
- Happiness is maximized when you are part of a community. "It involves
a willingness to learn and stretch and grow, which sometimes involves
discomfort. It requires acting on life, not merely taking it in."

*So what community should you be joining? What goals can you set to help
with stretching and growing? What action can you take to move an idea
forward?*

- Go to meetup.com<http://e2ma.net/go/6237341155/207101733/210604973/1357933/goto:http://meetup.com>for
a list of groups across all interest areas in your community.
- Contact your local industry association to ask about upcoming seminar
or certification programs. Or watch an inspirational video on the TED
website<http://e2ma.net/go/6237341155/207101733/210604974/1357933/goto:http://www.ted.com/>

moving. I Can See Clearly Now. The Benefits Of Taking Action On Your
Ideas<http://e2ma.net/go/6237341155/207101733/210604975/1357933/goto:http://timsstrategy.com/resume-sample-cover-letter-example-job-interview-prep/>

Fwd: [NewEnglandNetworking] The Stress of Unemployment

Posted by: "Peter Lutz" lutzpf@gmail.com   peter_f_lutz

Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:48 pm (PST)



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Gary Wright - Wright Associates <gary_wright@verizon.net>
Date: Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Subject: [NewEnglandNetworking] The Stress of Unemployment
To: newenglandnetworking@yahoogroups.com

*The Stress of Unemployment*

*Managing The Emotional Roller Coaster*

There's no way around it - unemployment is a bumpy, unpredictable emotional
roller-coaster ride. Even under the best of circumstances; when you've got
ample savings, decent job prospects, and a healthy severance package, few
people manage to escape the unemployment blues. While you can't change the
unpredictable nature of the ride, there are steps you can take to better
manage your reaction to the peaks and valleys you'll inevitably experience.
Here are ten suggestions to help you better manage the anxiety of
unemployment:

1.

*Don't compare yourself to others:* The impact of job loss varies from
person to person. It's likely that a single 25 year-old who lives at home
and is thinking about going back to graduate school will react to his/her
job loss with a different intensity than a 40 year old single mother who is
laid off from the only job she has ever held. But, it's also true that two
people in similar situations may have two totally different reactions to
their common loss. Each individual is unique and reacts with a wide range of
emotions and behaviors; there is no one right way to handle this transition.

1.

*Become part of a support group:* As wonderful as family and friends can
be, many people find that joining a support group of peers is the most
valuable support of all. Interacting with a group of people, who are in your
situation and can fully understand what you're going through, can be an
invaluable aid in helping you maintain perspective and a sense of humor
during your search.

1.

*Be honest about your emotions:* Admitting your anger, fear, and
frustrations to your support group is the first step toward managing your
emotions instead of letting them control you.

1.

*Name and Claim the Enemy:* Rather than walking around with a vague but
continual sense of anxiety, try to figure out what specific things worry you
most. By facing what you actually fear (i.e. financial instability, concerns
that you'll never find a comparable position) you can see how realistic your
fears are and begin to work on a plan for addressing those issues.

1.

*Recognize that Luck Plays a Role in this Process:* While it's hard not
to wonder why your friend landed a job quickly while you're still looking,
the answer is that every person's search proceeds at a unique pace. Luck,
timing, market opportunities and a hundred other factors conspire together
in mysterious ways. Remember the saying, "God, grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."

1.

*Avoid Negative People:* A group of pessimistic nay-sayers will do
nothing but reinforce your worst fears. Align yourself with friends and
colleagues who think more of you than you think of yourself - their
suggestions will inspire, empower, and encourage you to move on in the face
of rejection. Sometimes though, even the best-intentioned people don't know
what to say and as a result usually end up saying the wrong thing. Try to
remember their intentions are honorable even if their actions are less than
helpful.

1.

*Take Care of Yourself:* Mom was right; it's important to take care of
yourself. Get enough sleep, exercise and eat well. Don't allow yourself to
mope around the house in pajamas all day - project an image that reinforces
a positive outlook.

1.

*Focus on the Positive:* While you can't change events, you can change
how you react to them. Instead of focusing on the negatives on your life,
take note of the positive side of unemployment. Whether it's the opportunity
to spend more time with your children, having a chance to explore new career
directions or simply being able to sleep past 6 a.m., there is undoubtedly
something positive to recognize during this difficult transition.

1.

*Keep Busy:* There is nothing more depressing than staring at an empty
calendar. Schedule your job search activities (i.e. 10 a.m.- 11 a.m.: make
cold calls, 2 p.m.- 4 p.m.: work on revising resume, etc.) as you would
normal business appointments. If you have blocks of unused time, look in the
newspaper for listings of business related meetings, trade shows or seminars
that you might be able to attend. Go to the library. Force yourself to get
out of the house.

1.

*Volunteer:* By helping others you'll help yourself feel more valued.
Even if it's only a few hours each month, the psychological boost of helping
those less fortunate can be significant.

Finally, if your sadness feels very profound and does not seem to improve,
consider getting professional help. The cost of ignoring depression can be
far greater than the cost of getting treatment. Consult your local mental
health clinics, social services agencies or professional counselors for help
for yourself and family members who are affected by your unemployment. Some
assistance may be covered by your health insurance or, if you do not have
insurance, counseling is often available on a "sliding scale" fee, based on
income.
