For all of you who got the axe, reanalyze yourself and shift your focus from weaknesses to strengths. When you’ve lost your job, a common tendency is to try to figure out what you did wrong, examining your possible shortcomings or any perceived failure from every angle. As you home in on what you feel are your trouble spots, you’ll likely also forget or minimize your strengths.
To flip this discouraging focus to a more positive one, widen your perspective to include your full career. If you are just starting out, your expanded focus could include your educational experiences to date.
The goal of this exercise is to recognize that you’ve already experienced your share of professional setbacks (as well as personal ones, no doubt), yet you’ve continued past each past problem to achieve your present position. So think back to a previous time when you suffered another difficult situation that you ultimately overcame.
Good luck.
