About 14 years ago I was one of a couple of guys who founded a little company. We did all the computer thing for doctors (medicals), including a self-made management software for their business, all hardware, training, support and so on. At the beginning I was just an ordinary hardware technician, but with the years I stepped up to the chief technician for Austria with sales and little management agendas. Not very spectaculare, but quite a nice job - always interesting and varied. No top-income, but enaugh for me and my teener-passion.
We had a good position in the market, but the goings went tougher, so we looked for a strategic partner with a bigger finacial background. This was back in 2001. This company realized that we didn't really fit in their portfolio after a couple of years, so they sold us to a big German company - where we should fit better. So far so good, this was at the end of 2007. As it turned out, the German company is only interested in commercial numbers, all this financial things - and they don't care about anything else. Well then, our new owners found out that we are not soo profitable, so the ordered to fire some employees ... and about 1 hour ago they fired me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) perfect timing ... additional side not: check this out Gustl |

Bummer!
Life likes to beat up on you sometimes but it will get better. Much better. Take a few days to relax and get over the shock. Take a look at your skills and figure out what YOU want to do. Then go after it. You actually have many more skills than you realize and you need to list them. Same thing happened to me so I made an assessment of my skills and a choice. 30 years as an Engineer with 25+ patents, and now I sit in an office in a law firm writing patents. Love my choice. I might have some documents from a job hunting training session or two that could help you figure out who you are and where you can go. PM me if interested. Ken |
