STAGE 1: SHOCK (Days 1-7)
“Wait… did this really happen?”
You’re numb. You’re stunned. You’re replaying every meeting.
- ✓This is NORMAL. Your brain is processing trauma.
- ✓Focus on paperwork first. Severance, COBRA, unemployment.
- ✓Don’t make big decisions yet. Give yourself permission to exist.
STAGE 2: PANIC (Week 2-3)
“How will I pay my bills?!”
The shock wears off and financial reality hits HARD.
- ✓Run your numbers. Use a budget calculator.
- ✓Cut non-essentials immediately.
- ✓File for unemployment NOW. Don’t wait.
STAGE 3: ACTION (Week 4-8)
“Okay, let’s DO this.”
Something clicks. The survival instinct kicks in.
- ✓10+ applications per week minimum.
- ✓Network like your career depends on it.
- ✓Daily interview prep. STAR stories.
STAGE 4: FRUSTRATION (Week 9-12)
“Why isn’t anything working?!”
The ghosting. The rejections. The silence.
- ✓Adjust your strategy. Change your approach.
- ✓Expand your search. Different roles, industries.
- ✓Consider freelance. Income is income.
STAGE 5: BREAKTHROUGH (Week 13+)
“Wait… it’s all coming together.”
Suddenly, things shift. Multiple interviews. Real offers.
