Immediate Recovery Path
By the end you have run the first-72-hours triage of a firing: the facts and access locked down, the right kind of exit identified and the specific rights it triggers protected, your severance and benefits deadlines handled, your stress lowered enough to think, and one first move pointed at with an action already on your calendar.
Who it is for: You got the news this week. Handle the legal, benefits, and emotional triage first, before you apply anywhere or sign anything. This is the day-one course; the search and money-depth courses come after.
What you walk away with: A completed stabilization kit: your facts log with your firing type marked, verified deadlines, the federal rights that apply to your exit protected, a runway estimate, a rehearsed what-happened script, and a first-move decision with your first step on the calendar.
