The Next 30 Days: An Action Workbook for Job Loss

Losing a job triggers an immediate scramble: insurance, severance paperwork, deciding how fast to start applying elsewhere, all while managing the emotional hit of the loss itself. Most of that scramble happens with no system, which makes it feel bigger than it needs to.

This workbook breaks the first 30 days into five trackable pieces: an immediate financial triage sheet, a benefits and insurance checklist with real deadlines, a severance and paperwork review sheet, a job search activity tracker, and a daily structure planner to maintain momentum.

The first 30 days are about stabilizing, not necessarily landing something new. If you've protected your finances and benefits and started building momentum, that's a full first month.

This is an instant PDF download you can read on any device or print at home for easy reference, easy to print and keep by your desk while you track daily tasks and applications in whatever system already works for you.
