Fired Again? What did you learn?

The response to getting fired can range from happiness or relief to out-right depression. It's important to take the time to review not only what went wrong, but what worked and what you can apply to future situations.

Linkedin Influencer Salley Krawcheck wrote that her exprience with re-structuring and losing her position involved seven lessons.

Lesson Number 1: If it feels too good to be true, it probably is. 
Lesson Number 2: The power of culture.
Lesson Number 3: Face time still matters.
Lesson Number 4: A sponsor matters even more.
Lesson Number 5: Business results are not everything
Lesson Number 6: The Good News: A strong outside network helps a lot.
Lesson Number 7: The Best News: Gratitude helps even more

Lesson 6 is of particular importance. Your network can not only help you analyze your situation and be a sounding board, but could be the source of new positions and opportunities.
