In order to properly describe your work experience, you should consider where you are sending it.

What work experience does the job require? How can you highlight your achievements in these areas on your resume? Needed strengths differ from position to position.

Take the time to delve into your skills and accomplishments as they fit the position and company. Never lie in your resume or in an interview but make good choices on what to emphasize about your work history.

Take care of yourself on your way to recovery. Do not rush yourself to feel better instantly. We all have periods when we feel down but there comes a time that we will feel ready to take on the world again. Your feelings may shift among numbness, anger, sadness and desolation.

12⟩ Tell me how would you rant for dealing with bad work experiences?

Everyone who's ever lost a job may find themselves angry, sad and anxious over what happened. If you lose your job because you did something wrong, were wrongly judged upon or all of these, feel free to rant. Allow yourself to get really angry at your boss, co-worker or any reason that made you lose your job. That said, it is important to find healthy ways to get your pent-up emotions off your chest. Write about it, talk to someone about it, cry, shout or eat a pint of ice cream. Do anything that will help you feel more in control of your emotions and less angry about the said situation.

There is no right or wrong way to feel about your situation. The only thing that will be wrong is if you allow this experience to dampen your enthusiasm for work. If you go around looking for a job and still feel angry about your past work experience, it can sabotage your efforts. You do not want to be talking about your past work experience to a potential employer and badmouthing your previous boss.
