Whatever your boss calls it, you’ve been fired. Instead of holding the infamous “pity party,” try hosting a celebration bash for yourself. After all, you are now FREE to explore new possibilities, perhaps find a job you really could love, finish that screenplay you started in college, join the Peace Corp, or follow your passion into a self-employment venture. Consider the statistic: Given recent events surrounding the Pandemic, The New York Times states the unemployment rate is hovering around 13% and that does not include those whose unemployment benefits have run out, those who have not held a job long enough to qualify for unemployment benefits, and the seniors who have stopped looking after being beaten down by ageism. And then there is the new hiring practice being enforced by many human resource gatekeepers — don’t offer an interview to anyone who is not currently employed! This seminar prepares you for success even if you have “lost” your job. The topics covered include understanding the nature of being passionate about what you know and what you do and developing your passion into a money-making venture, whether that be as a business owner or an employed person. Presented by Constance Hallinan Lagan and made possible by the Career & Personal Finance Center.
