Each phase, much like the stages of grief, take a different amount of time for each person. The most important thing to remember as you work through the five phases of a career crisis is to allow yourself to be human.

The Five Phases:

  1. Rejection – When rejection comes, it’s not something we are used to handling.
  2. Resolve – Intentional effort to do something different. A decision that you will stick with.
  3. Resilience – Moving that idea forward and having the courage to do something with it.
  4. Recovery – You are starting to find your way again. You get your “swagger” back. You are figuring out what’s next.
  5. Role Modeling – After recovery, it’s important to carry this forward. Showing and demonstrating that during career transition and crisis that opportunities abound.
