I've lost jobs before; I've had contracts not renewed, and it didn't get me down. I didn't get upset; I just keep it moving. That has always been the case, and that will always be the case. You must look out for you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many people have asked me how I feel about losing my job.
People often think that losing your job is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. And, in some cases, that might be true. But for me, unemployment can be the time and the motivation to finally go after my goals.
I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.
I was under the impression I had signed a three-year contract. I want to be back. I expect to be back. I will be back.
I still take way more jobs than I turn down, and the reason that I turn down a job is that I just can't find anything in it that charges me or excites me or challenges me about moving to the next phase of where I'm headed.
When I didn't get a job, I thought, 'Don't worry, there'll be another one.' I still live by that now. Nothing really fazes me any more.
I quit after my seven-year contract with Universal was up. I quit for 33 years.
More than 60,000 jobs have been lost in the commercial aviation industry in the United States since 1999.
I was devastated by the loss of my job in March, although I can understand why it occurred.
When for so long you can't get a job for reasons that seem specious, you you finally do have it, you are constantly afraid of losing it.
