Since 2009, I have written a blog, Elephants at Work, which helps employees figure out how to manage sticky situations. I have received countless calls and emails asking for advice about how to handle specific situations about being fired—either right after it has happened, while job hunting, or at the point where you don’t want to blow the final offer dance. In every situation, their confidence was shaken and we found a solution together.

For seventeen years, I was the person on the other side of the table—the one who made the decision on whether or not to hire or fire someone. I left the corporate world to work independently as an executive career and life coach so that I can help people every day solve their problems.

I have been there, I have done it, I get it. You are not alone.

Stop searching the internet for hours, What to Do After Being Fired will save you time and keep you focused.

What To Do After Being Fired retails for $27. Today you can get it for $13.50.

 Is this You?

My number one article is: Interviewing or Job Applications: What Do I Say if I Was Fired? Recently, a reader contacted me after reading Elephants at Work because he was in the final stages of interviewing for a position. The company sent him an employment application and he wanted to know what to put down about the reason for leaving his last position.

The company had fired him for cause. He took advantage of my 90 Minute Power Coaching Session ($400) to figure out what to do. (It is important to be truthful in what you say, but that doesn’t mean you have to share all the gory details!)

Within two weeks, he was working at his new job and was in the process of clearing up the termination status with his old company. For some, the cost of a personal coaching session is not an issue.

But for most newly unemployed people cost is an issue. So I have answered the most frequently asked questions and put them into an eBook that gives you the information you need quickly and cost effectively.

This is a necessary resource. Wished this was available when I was going through job termination. Termination is an unfortunate fact of life. The stigma is gone from 10-25 years ago. Many do not have experienced friends who can offer helpful advice. People search the Internet and find many sources with conflicting info. This guide would definitely be advantageous to ALL!!

I would highly recommend this as an experienced terminated employee.

An Added Benefit I Did Not Expect!

After I wrote What to Do after Being Fired, I asked people who had experienced termination and experts in the career field to review the manuscript.  One person’s husband shared how this eBook would have helped them as a couple.

Just imagine how much easier it would be to have a conversation instead of a fight about what you are doing to find a job.

 

As a spouse and caregiver this gave me a much needed insight and understanding into what my wife was facing on a day to day basis. I would recommend this to anyone who has a family member or friend dealing with job loss.
