The 20SomethingRoast Podcast: Career Strategy for 20Somethings


What’s it really like to get fired or laid off?

May 13, 2014

 

_______________________________________________

"You're Fired", are two words you would prefer to never have to hear if you a 20Something trying to grow your young career.

As 20Somethings, you have likely worked crap jobs, felt stuck in part time gigs or have gone a stretch of time being unemployed. But getting fired or being laid off can have a whole other effect on you when you're in your 20's and trying to find your career stride.

If you are only 23 or 24 years old you may not have ever been fired or let go from a big boy or girl job (Wendy's and the local amusement park you had during the summer doesn't count) but aren't you a little curious to know what happens if you were put in that position? Doesn't it cross your mind every once in a while about what goes down when your manager gives you the boot or your company tells you they are closing their doors for good?

Don't worry, in this episode of 20SomethingRoast your host, Swim Karim, curbs your curiosity by digging into:

What it's really liked to get fired or laid off in your 20's and how to handle this potentially major career change
Why getting fired from your job might actually be okay & put you in the same rankings as CEO's, V.P.'s & lawyers
How to bounce back to your next job whether you were canned or simply let go.

Plus, Swim takes you back to 2012 and shares with you what happened the Friday morning he was laid off and the crazy events that happened the week after losing his job. If you thought you knew Swim before, just wait to hear what he reveals on this episode.
