Forced Career Change? – Why This Could Be The Most Fantastic Thing That Has Ever Happened To You!
By Roy Carter
Although this may be a time of great stress and worry for you, you may end up feeling that being forced to make a complete career change is not actually the end of the world!
Taking the right steps immediately to find the career or job options open to you may propel you into a completely different and more fulfilling lifestyle.
In fact, for many people, after the initial shock of being told that their position is redundant, it can be a time of re-evaluation and a time for considering the options for the future.
You probably feel a little overwhelmed by it all, a little panicky and even put out and angry but you should remember that it is your ‘position’ that has been made redundant, ‘not you’! That may seem like semantics, but it is an important distinction to make. People often report an initial feeling of worthlessness and a general feeling of not being wanted. It is not at all unusual or unnatural to feel this way, but your employer has in fact found it necessary to cut certain positions in order to make the company more cost effective.
Therefore, this is not in any way a slight on your ability and should not be considered as such. In fact, such thoughts can be mentally and emotionally destructive and can hinder your chances of moving ahead, so do not allow them to control your actions. Nor should you waste time and energy feeling aggrieved at your former employer. That is simply a waste of your time and you need to be focussing your energies on you, your family and your future right now, not on the past. After all, your future is something you can influence, your past is not.
The point is, whilst your job/position may be redundant, you most certainly are NOT! In fact for many people all over the world redundancy has brought the chance of a completely new start, often taking their lives into exciting new directions! Although you may be worried about the future and will probably be feeling a little down and depressed, now is not the time to let those emotions get the better of you. Remaining positive will be an important factor in your ability to take control of the situation and move forward.
Don’t allow that ‘little voice in your head’ to give you a negative mindset.
