How to cope with an unexpected layoff?

Losing a job can be one of the most stressful events in one's life, often resulting in loss of income, reduced self esteem, depression and illness. Construction executives should look at this time as an opportunity to begin fresh with a new career effort. Re-evaluate your career goals, set specific plans to achieve that goal and begin your construction job hunt. Remember it should be your full time job to find work so research every angle to identify opportunities.
