Manage episode 400971698 series 28495
#512:
I got fired in the middle of a meeting. Well, I was told the next day, but it happened in that meeting.
I knew it.
What a terrible feeling. I was up all night, walking the streets of Seattle in the dark by myself.
My mind racing between panic and planner modes.
I need a job
Can I even get a job?
Why did this happen?
Who do I reach out to?
How much runway do I have?
What do I tell my wife and kids?
Fortunately, my terror was short lived and I pivoted into a FT, highly paid consulting role within 30 days.
Because I was ready and flexible.
Here’s how to pick up on the signs you’re about to be laid off and how to pivot with precision.
