Year 3 and my 3rd opportunity to find a new position

This week I was informed that my position had been eliminated and I have yet another opportunity to find a new position. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me in nearly 3 years. Each time I've landed a job where I was able to continue to contribute and where I was able to continue to grow and learn.

The first thing I did after getting home the day I was informed was to write a 'letter of introduction' which I view as similar to a resume cover letter. The next day I asked my current boss for his opinion before I sent it out (as I always like to have an extra pair of eyes review important things) and he approved without finding anything that needed to be changed. I then sent it out to six different Directors and a VP along with a few other contacts within my company. To date I've been promised two interviews.

I've also decided to take this opportunity to learn from and have asked both my 1st and 2nd level managers for their thoughts on what I do well as a manager and what I need to improve upon - no response as yet. I also asked my staff. If I can get even one thing (and there are probably many) to improve upon it will be worth it.

More later.....
