Many technology workers are finding themselves out of work or may face that prospect in the near future. It can be a very difficult and stressful period, but at the same time says IT Career Coach Margaret Meloni, it can be a rewarding and possibly life-changing experience.
In this four-part audiocast series, Meloni advices people to think of this time as a gift.
"Think about it," she says. "When was the last time the day belonged to you and not a time clock? When was the last time you had an uncharted day in front of you?"
"You've probably been working very hard for a very long time. One day you'll look back on this time and have fond memories."
The key message in Margaret's audiocast is that you need to put this period into perspective. You will work again, you will punch a time clock again, so why waste this temporary gift of freedom.
Margaret Meloni heads Meloni Coaching Solutions, which helps Information Technology professionals create career strategies that bring them success and enhance their work experiences. Margaret has more than 18 years experience in Information Technology.
