Leaving on the best terms possible could also get you a letter of recommendation to use for your job hunt and career advisors say now is time to bone up on new skills.
It's also helpful to seek out career centers in your neighborhood and even on-line networks to expand your search. Career advisors say the stigma that was once attached to being fired, is now pretty much non-existent.
