1) Ask For Outplacement As Part Of A Severance
Package
2) Assess Oneself (interests, strengths/skills, needs,
stresses)
3) Set Short And Long-Term Goals
4) Create An Interview-Generating Resume - With
"Keywords" And "Quantified Accomplishments"
5) Research Opportunities (on databases in libraries
and on the Internet
6) Network, Network, Network, Network,
Network, Network, Network, Network, Network,
Network (that's 10 tips right there!)
7) Be A Pro-Active Interviewee (use: Q=A+P)
8) Do "Overlays"
9) Negotiate A Compensation Package
(s/he who tells first, loses - don't tell 'em what
you've been making!)
10) Use: "The Ratchet-Up Theory"
Then there's 11, 12, 13, 25, 39, 40 - but that's for another time!
