When you lose a job – you can enter a stressful time in your life – people may experience a variety of emotions like surprise, sadness, loneliness, anger, and other emotions. Here are some suggestions to deal with job loss
* Think of jobs as temporary – be aware that jobs are temporary – jobs begin, jobs end and some jobs change how they operate. Don’t try to take it personally – jobs change and jobs are temporary. The thought a job is temporary may lessen the strong emotions you may feel from a job loss. (even though you will still likely feel strong emotions with a job loss)
* Unemployment – you may qualify for unemployment insurance – unemployment may be able to give you financial assistance if you lose your job; you may be able get financial assistance while looking for another job position – check with your state employment program for specific details – the state employment program may be able to help you with finding your next job
* Social network – when you have the stress of a job loss, social groups can help support you in your time of stress from a job loss.
* Health – can be helpful to stay healthy – may look into doing exercises or eating healthy
* Routines – people who work may have an established routine from their workplace, when people lose their job, people may lose a big part of their routine. People may find comfort in routine. Some ideas to create routine can be
(A) Job club – job club is a group of people who help people with job loss. Job club may meet at a specific time (like the same day of the week)
(B) Meet with a group of friends on an established routine – meet at a specific time period

Careers can change with time – some job positions can fade away; new job positions appear and some jobs may do tasks differently. With jobs able to change – it can be helpful to have current information. Some ideas to have current information:
• Book – when you find a Book find the publication date
• Check the date when content (video, audio or print) created on the Internet (if the content has a date next to it)
• People – you can talk to people about their profession – information likely current unless the person left a career field many years ago; as you talk to people, check to see if the person is still in the field or when did the person leave the profession
• Personal experience – if you are currently working in a field or you recently left a career field – your information likely current; if you left a field many years ago, and thinking about getting back into the field – your information may not be current; – may want to do other tasks to explore the career field so that you can get current information on the career field; and verify the field the way you remember it may years ago
Current information on a career can be useful – careers can change with time – so current career information can be helpful.

Online job fairs
Here in Omaha Nebraska I heard some radio stations describe an online job fair the people could use to find job positions.
Online job fairs are a place where you can make connections with a recruiter and find out more information about job opportunities.
I visited some visited some radio station web sites.
they were FM radio stations in the Omaha area
The FM radio stations were
94.1FM – channel 94.
(www.channel941.com)
104.5 FM – 104.5 FM Stars
(www.104star.com)
Z92 FM – Z92
(www.z92.com)
A section on the radio websites called “Omaha online job fair” would give you information on organizations that offer job opportunities. You can click the section “Omaha online job fair” to find those opportunities.
Looking at job fairs I did a general search on Google I found a website that describes itself the “the United States job fair directory #1 US job and career fair listing site” (the link did not work)
The site of (the link did not work) gave information on job fairs
Some useful information can be
*give information on companies that create job fairs (in the section called “job fair company”)
*give information on job fairs based on city (in the section called “job fair locations”)
