Job loss is an event many may experience at some point in life. I had the good fortune of losing my job right as the Great Recession of 2008 kicked off. This led to me being long-term unemployed for two years.  For two years I struggled with having no job income until I decided to think outside the box to insure this never happens again.  This blog is about the lessons that followed and how you can avoid the struggle I was dealt.

Getting Canned tells my story of how I dealt with the problem of unemployment. Thinking outside the box, I moved to Asia and taught English for about three years.  I found a lot of opportunity and a new way of thinking I want to share for those pursuing financial independence.

I created this site to be an outlet to vent about work life and job loss.  If you wish to share your story about job loss just drop me a line. “Getting Canned” is focused on showcasing ways to prosper after job loss, what to do after job loss to make it to your next job or ditching office work entirely.
