Don’t Call Yourself a Job Seeker
So, you’ve gotten the news that you’re being let go from your employer for some reason. Regardless of whether the separation is due to actions within, or outside of your control, the fact of the matter is that you’re going to need a new job. After the separation, you’re likely going to fall into the trap of identifying yourself as a job seeker. Although technically it’s not a derogatory phrase, the term “job seeker” is a putdown for many because it implies the individual isn’t doing much with their time other than sending out job applications and hoping people get back to them.
