So you just got laid off unexpectedly and now what? Shock. Anger. Sadness. Uncertainty. 

This first of a 3 part mini-series addresses what to do next from an emotional as well as tactical  standpoint.

Get over the emotion at least to the point where you can think semi-rationally. Assess what you really want in a next position as well as your plans for retirement. Getting a grip on what's possible related to your current situation and what dreams you might have are key to moving forward with pursuing your next role.
