It is easier to find a job when you already hold one. When you’ve been downsized or worried about holding onto your job and needing to find a new role, it places you in a challenging situation. You are forced to look for a new job at the worst time. Your defenses are down. Your ego is bruised.
You should allocate anywhere from a weekend to a week or so to process what just occurred and decompress. You want to come to terms with being laid off and work through any anger issues and feelings of resentment and self-pity.
Conduct a post-mortem. It's hard to do but think about your actions. Did you say or do something that made you a target for downsizing? This is not victim-blaming. It's similar to the way football players and their coaches watch films of the game afterward. You want to analyze what went right and what didn't. Any lessons learned will help you in the future.
You try to put a good spin on it but come across as if you broke up with your longtime partner. Trying to be polite, inadvertently, you say something not too flattering about your former management team, boss and coworkers. After you said it, you know it didn't go over well with the hiring manager. She thinks you might be toxic and uncomfortable that you talked badly about them behind their backs. You know you made a mistake and tried to correct it, but it's too late.
