How To Take Action

I would suggest starting by taking a little time to think about your last job. Ask yourself if there might have been something you could've done better. If there was a skill you were missing, make a plan to learn it. You could find free online courses or watch videos to get better at this skill.

Remember, losing jobs happens a lot, so don't feel alone. It's important not to stay mad or upset about it because that won't help you move forward. Instead, use that energy to find a new job that makes you happy.

A good way of doing this is to look around for places that interest you. When you find a job you might like, make sure your resume is up-to-date. You can ask a friend to look over your resume to make sure it shows your best.

Then, practice talking about yourself in a positive way for when you have interviews. You can practice with a friend or even in front of a mirror. This way, you feel more confident when the time comes.

Finally, think of the job search as an adventure to find a place where you're going to love working. Stay positive and keep looking. You'll find something great!
