Got Fired? Data Shows It May Be Easier Than Expected to Recover From It.
Getting fired can be a major blow to your career, not to mention your self-esteem. And unfortunately, sometimes it happens to good people who get in over their heads at work, or who genuinely try to please their managers but somehow fall short on expectations.
But a new survey from ResumeLab reveals some comforting news: A large number of workers who got fired in the course of their careers wound up recovering pretty easily. And that means that if you've been let go, you can take comfort in the fact that all is not totally lost.
You'd think that being fired would relegate you to a lower-level job out of desperation or a lack of better options. But actually, among fired workers, 39.2% landed in a similar position after the fact, while almost 38% got a higher-ranking position. Furthermore, only about 25% of employees were unhappy with their new salary after being fired.
