Hi Penelope,

You seem to be the worker that every small business owners wouldn't want to hire, haha. I gotta agree about always networking like you always need a job, you just never know.

Following up on Pralines comment I would totally agree not to tie up all your money in stock market investments. This is to risky. There are alternative methods of investing in the stock market in which you are guaranteed for your initial capital investment. These are called structured investments they follow the stock market yet the FDIC insured them as if they were a bank account, I have quite a lot of money in such a scheme and I get the security of a savings accounts and the excitement of the stock market. Give it a quick Google to see all the latest structured investment products.

Think of yourself as an artist at the office; notice that each business problem begs for creativity. And be happy that you have health benefits and vacation days, which you wouldn’t if you showed your solutions in galleries instead of conference rooms.

I lost my job with an investment bank last year after 6 years with the company. I was fortunate in that I had invested in a friend of mine that has a small internet marketing company and asked me to run the finances for his company. My advice is to keep at least a portion of your savings in alternative, i.e. non-stock market, investments and keep in touch with friends and former colleagues, especially successful ones.

so…what do you say in interviews about why you "left your previous" job?

i was fired for the first time last year…it wasn't the biggest blow to my ego ever, and i really hated working there, but it was still a learning experience.
