Like so many girls of my generation, I went straight from college to society．Through my family's attempt, I found my suitable job．I thought I was doing a great job．
One day, a female program director arrived at the station．This large and frightening woman came to work every day with an equally large and frightening German dog．She didn't like me．When she called me into her office one Friday afternoon, she simply said,“You're fired!”leaving me to wonder what had gone so terribly wrong．
Six months later, after calling every program director in town, I went to work for another major-market radio station, doing four-minute stories for a low ＄15 each．With two young children and a husband who was just starting his own career, I took a chance．
Today, some 28 years later, I am still at WOR Radio with a two-hour daily talk show interviewing celebrities, authors and politicians, giving information to more than a million listeners a week and loving every minute of it．
I was young when those firings happened, but the process is still the same．Firings know no age or gender．The trick is to get out from under the covers and make things happen．This is exactly what Sherrye Henry did．
Sherrye, when her organization came across a sudden financial failure, she was fired．“This wasn't the first job I had lost．Hard as it is, one must remember that there is always life after losing a job．”said Sherrye．Helpful friends, good luck and a good resume got Sherrye back on track．Within a month, she landed what she calls the most satisfying job of her life：raising money for Episconpal Relief and Development(ERD), which provides emergency assistance to people in 40 countries．
