失去你的工作不是世界的尽头：这将给你一个新的机会的开始。30岁的Caroline Poole这样说到，在2年前，她作为保险公司市场推广部门的负责人被裁员了。这个消息是一个打击，特别是对于一个已经有9年成功的职业生涯来说，但是她决定把这个裁员看成是一个乐观的改变的动力。
Although it seemed a tough lesson at the time, redundancy was the catalyst that redirected my career, " says Caroline. "it gave me the break I needed to understand where my career objectives lay."
“虽然这似乎是一个非常艰难的教训，但是裁员是一个再次改变我职业方向的催化剂，”Caroline这样说。"这给了我一个空隙，我需要了解我的职业目标在哪里。"
Working with a consultant, Caroline explored a number of work options that appealed to her. She also took advantage of workshops on issues **such ** as setting up your own business, and managing your finances. A key consideration for her was how easy it would be balance working in London with home life 100 kilometres away.

在裁员2年之后，Caroline正在计划另一个职业的间歇期。“这个裁员的经历让我更自信的面对我的选择。 现在我知道我能控制我自己的职业生涯, 尽管这意味着首先要辞职然后去花时间找寻正确的职业生涯方向。她说。
