School Teacher Fired - What to Do Now
By:Jurinsthea Smith

Ever heard of some school teacher fired? Are you afraid it might also happen to you as well? Having second thoughts on the current state of your profession?

It is not only teachers in an educational institution that are experiencing such dilemma of being fired from the job. Almost everyone can be in this state (if not now then sooner or later). In order for us to avoid the stress and the fear of being one of the school teachers fired, the least any mentor employee can do is to prepare. Thus, in order for us to have that safe and peaceful state of mind, here are the things you can do considering you are fired or dismissed.

1. Work. Being fired from a job means no income on your end, unless you have other jobs to keep you busy even if you are no longer teaching. But for those who don't even have one at the end of it, it is suggested to find one in the soonest possible time. Don't be disheartened if you were dismissed or fired from your former school employer. The least you can do is to know what you did wrong, change and move on. It would be very bad on your case if you kept on pondering to go back to school if you know you have no chance of being hired again. Thus, find another work perhaps in another school or in another line of profession.

2. Relax. Although being fired has numerous disadvantages, it also has its own set of advantages. One of these is that you get to rest and relax. If you had been working every single day for so many years, it is now time to give yourself an ample amount of break. Perhaps, you can use your last salary as a reward to yourself by going on a vacation near the sea, or going out of town with your family. This is also a wonderful way for you to forget the recent happenings and recharge back when you are ready to find another job.

3. Contemplate. This is another thing you can do while you relax or perhaps search for new work. If you were fired or dismissed for a reason, give yourself time to ponder over it. If you think it was your fault or mistake in the first place, allow yourself to change for the better. It would be hard on your end to carry the same attitude to another working environment and end up being fired again. Thus, it is important to contemplate and figure out areas where you can improve, and discover how you can change it. At least after that, another company or school they won't have anymore similar reasons to get you fired.

These are just some of the things you can do after being fired. This is no time for you to despair and be locked in the past. Move on and live your life to the fullest. Change and improve, and better yet, find another job if you still can. Thus, with all these within your sleeves I know you won't worry even if you are part of the school teacher fired tag.
