Making the Best Out of a Tough Situation

A hospital administrator tries to look a the up-side of being laid off from his job. Not surprisingly, his blog might have been his salvation:

I feel very fortunate to have met so many people through this blog, and it has definitely helped me transition into the next chapter (more on that soon). Nonetheless, 100 percent of professionals know that they need to network. My advice: Be in the 5 percent that actually do it. And do it before you need it. If you wait until you need to do it, it'll be too late. All of my leads were with people who already knew me well.
