You got fired. Your life sucks, your bank account is empty, and no one wants to hang out with you. I guess you better go eat worms. Or… You quit your job because it wasn’t working out and you need to find a new gig that fulfills all of your earthly desires and whims. Or… You want to progress past your current gig because you were meant for bigger and better things in life. In all of these situations, it’s time to move on, and you are nervous. This article is here to let you know that you are not alone, you are right to be nervous, and that you have little to fear. You are going to be alright. You are not your job. You are going to survive this storm, and you are going to be a better person because of it.
