Since 1989, when Proteus Consultancy first established its Career Management Service, we have heard some horrendous stories from our clients about the ways in which they have been treated by the corporate world.
In particular I'm thinking of situations where a company hands out redundancy notices to staff but with no outplacement support.
If it happens to you, and the probability is quite high that it will at some stage in your life, be prepared to experience what we call a SAD reaction.
No not sadness but Shock, Anger, Depression!
Our observations over the years tell us that it is perfectly normal to experience these feelings - there is nothing 'wrong' with you if you do.
'Shock' usually only lasts for a day or so.
'Anger' persists for about a week on average.
'Depression' however creeps up on you if you do nothing and it can be quite debilitating.
The best way to protect your future livelihood is to get back in the saddle immediately by being proactive straight away with your job search.
If you feel lost and unsure what to do then reflect on the following statistic.
On average, seeking professional advice from a career management consultant will halve the time it takes to secure a new offer of employment.
