So, you were laid off. Let Go. Released. Downsized. Cut loose. Anyway you say it, it means the same thing. You are out of a job. And, you join the millions across America who are unemployed as well.

Maybe you were given some notice, a nice farewell party and a generous severance package. Maybe, you were surprised on a Friday with a pink slip and an empty box (or a paper bag) to pack up your things. Or, perhaps you just discovered that your key no longer worked in your office door lock.

Now what??!!

Well, of course, you look for another job. You get your resume together, you dust off your interview suit, you join all the Social Networking sites and you start surfing Monster, Careerbuilder and wheresmynextjob.com with the intention of finding a new job FAST!

But, what happens when you don’t get hired the week after you just got fired???

What do you do with all this new-found time?

Well, while you're searching for your next job, here's some ideas, reminders, random thoughts etc. from someone who's discovering there is life after her layoff.

The Night Before Garage Sale Madness!

It's 11:00pm the night before my big Garage Sale. I've decided to follow the many experts who suggest having a garage sale as one of the many ways to earn some quick extra cash. I'll be discussing some tips for a successful garage sale in my next post...as well as some other ideas to make some extra money...so stay tuned!

I must say, I put in ALOT of work for this garage sale, but it felt great to clean out all the closets and free up some storage space! I'm exhausted...and the garage sale hasn't even started yet! Let's hope it's a success!
