R,
Great list. I have probably done half of these. I think I am going to print this up and put it in my home office.
I got the not getting fired, but job loss, out of my system early in my career. This my sound a bit out there, but I think loosing your is a great learning experience. It taught me when I was young not only the meaning of having a great job but also evaluating what I have before moving on. In my instance I did not know what I had before it was gone. I learned from my mistakes, and now have a comprehensive plan before moving on to new opportunities as well as how to play the career game. I will admit that it hurt when it happened but built me up to who I am now.
