Job Hunting: Worst Case Scenario

In the job search while preparing for a job interview, it is easy to be uncomfortable and wonder “What will they think of me?” or “what if I screw up and say the wrong thing?”

When feelings of doubt creep in, ask yourself; “What is the worst thing that can happen?”


Often you will find that the worst thing that can happen, is nothing at all, or that they don’t hire you…and if the worse thing, is no worse than the results you have right now, then by all means go for it. What have you got to loose?

Downsized? Take Care of Yourself

Being laid off is taxing to your nervous system, your physical body, mental and emotional well-being.

  • Your first priority is to negotiate a reasonable severance package that includes health insurance and unemployment compensation so you are not worried unnecessarily while seeking for the next job.
  • Take vitamins daily such as Vitamin C, A Vitamin B complex and Echinacea to boost your immune system.
  • Exercise daily for at least half an hour. A serious cardiovascular work out, such as running, walking, swimming, or bicycling will regulate your appetite, sleeping patterns, mood swings and with the release of natural endorphins, you will look and feel on top of the world.
