&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;You know how after you get dumped, you get a make-over, join a gym, and take up scuba diving? Well, maybe not those things exactly, but there is usually the impulse to remind your ex exactly what he/she is missing by emphasizing how fabulous you are. In case you weren?t aware, that never really works, but you end up benefitting from your re-vamp anyway. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I was reminded of this by the article on Citigroups?s split in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;the New York Times&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; today. After losing $8.2 billion in just the fourth quarter, Citigroup is breaking up its bank into two separate entities, Citicorp and Citi Holdings. Check out this quote from Citi?s CEO Vikram S. Pandit:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;?I have no doubt we will emerge from the current environment stronger, smarter, and better positioned to&#160;realize the full earnings power of this great franchise,? Mr. Pandit said in a statement accompanying Citigroup?s results. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;For Citi?s sake, I hope his optimism is warranted. But I think this is absolutely the attitude you should take if you?ve been laid off. There are always lessons to be learned in a transitional lull between jobs. Think about what you really want in a new job, what strengths you bring to the table, which weaknesses you?ll want to bolster, learn new things, and indulge in activities that bring you joy. Eventually, you will find a new job (or a new date), but in the meantime, you?ll be much happier and better off.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Linda Petock, Vault News &amp; Commentary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
