2. Stop sitting around hopin the right job will drop in your lap. It's time to eliminate excuses to stay home and suffer.

3. Prepare a realistic budget for yourself. Forget about buying a new car or going on an expensive vacation. Determine how long you can go until your finances are in jeopardy.

4. You may be surprised that you're eligible for many more opportunities than you imagined. Over the course of your work history you've acquired a lot more than specific job-related skills. You've picked up capabilities and assets that can be transferred into any job.

5. You have options. Your transferable skills allow you to take a look at many different work environments and job descriptions you previously may not have thought you were qualified for.

6. Prepare a list of networking contacts . . . people who can advise you, make introductions for you, open doors, serve as referrals, etc.

7. Build a "Bio-Action" style resume. Focuses the reader on what you bring to the table rather than dwelling on a work history that only shows what you used to do for someone else.

8. Get a part-time job. Employers love to know you're keeping busy. Besides, it can help with your budget. It can provide a temporary opportunity to explore some new directions for you. At the very least get a business card establishing yourself as a consultant/expert.

There's a secret that can keep you from panicking when you get the ax. In fact, this secret will work for you when you voluntarily decide to change jobs. It's called an emergency preparedness plan!

In short, you want to be ready all the time. Studies show that we will change jobs an average of 7 times over our lifetime . . . whether we like it or not. An opportunity for a new job or a new career can present itself at any time.

And when you're prepared for getting laid off in advance with a success plan you can move the odds dramatically in your favor!
