Preparing for Job Loss - Resources

This series has covered how to best prepare yourself and your family in case job loss should strike. Whether the loss is of your family's primary income, or of a secondary income source, job loss can hit hard.

Being prepared helps minimize that impact.

I came across many great resources over the course of researching this series. Some have been linked to in the other posts of the series, but there are a few more that I wanted to share as well:

Online College: 15 Ways to Set Yourself Apart in a Recession
Christian PF: Surviving a Layoff
Tips & Treasures: 10 Tips to Earn Money in 2009
WiseBread: Write for Money Online
Homemaker Barbie: Recession-proof Your Family

As I wrap up this series, I've reread all the posts on this topic that I've written. I think the number one bit of advice that is most important is to keep a positive attitude.

Getting laid off, downsized, fired.... whatever you want to call it... is a blow to the ego. Realize that you are not your job. Do what you can now to prepare for the worst, but expect the best and go one with your life.

If you do lose your job, don't lose heart. There is a world of opportunity outside your door. Open up that door and jump in!
