Like a lamb led to the slaughter, you were hauled into a meeting with corporate and grilled about losses on an account you didn\u2019t even work on. Confused, you look over at your boss. He refuses to meet your eyes, shaking his head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">They didn\u2019t even do it in person. It was by email. After confirming receipt, you\u2019ve got 20 minutes to pack up your stuff. In 15, security arrives to escort you out of the building. Boom. Just like that, five years down the toilet, and a reputation in tatters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">It seems so unfair you\u2019d almost think something like that doesn\u2019t really happen. You\u2019d be surprised. When people think their job is at stake, hitting the panic button can take out numerous innocent bystanders. What should you do if you\u2019ve become a corporate scapegoat?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>Here\u2019s my advice:<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><b>1)<\/b> <b>Seek your own legal counsel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> immediately.

This will help to repair some of the damage your reputation has suffered, but in the meantime, don\u2019t look for work in the sector you\u2019re in, especially if it\u2019s small. You don\u2019t want to waste time proving your innocence (that\u2019s your lawyer\u2019s job); instead, focus on getting back to work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><b>3)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Think about how to <\/span><b>repackage your skills<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make them look attractive to employers outside the sector you\u2019ve worked in. Even if you\u2019ve worked in a very specialized industry, there are certainly numerous transferable skills you\u2019ve acquired that have contributed to your success.
