New Delhi: Leaving your job without any specific plan in mind is not an ideal situation. However if a situation like this arrives, you can't just sit and brood over it.

The Economic Times has talked to several experts and outlined five ways how you can deal with the situation.

Be sure about your finances: You must be very wise when it comes to your finances. Don't spend everything at one go. As they say, save for a rainy day.

Friends Referral: Many companies hire on the basis of referrals from their existing employees. Find out if your job preferences match with a friend's current organisation which works on referrals.

College placement cell: Many hiring agencies approach the College placement cell for new hiring. Sometimes they also take aluminis for senior posts. Be in touch with your College placement cell.

Optimum usage of free time: An idle mind is the devil's workshop. Don't let that happen. Make optimum usage of your free time. This is also a golden opportunity for you to do things which you have long wanted to do but couldn't because of time constraints.

Learn something new: This will not only help you outcome your boredom but also help you later. You can learn some new skills which may help you in your next job. Or you can simply learn new things, afterall no learning goes in vain!
