Hi Friends,
On personal front accept the reality of failure, be cool & collected, behave well with all, including with family and continue to be-in-touch with friends, network with associates, et al and try to overcome the tide, gain balance and momentum back in life; and,
On professional front, try to acquire marketable skills, reengineer the behavioral patterns, where required, et al and grow positively.
OR,
On personal front, become a recluse, alcoholic, drug-abuser, lose balance and temper, become generally irritable to the neighborhood & the family; (such gentlemen have become as the stinkers of the society, not to speak of becoming notorious as ‘Wife-beaters’ & ‘Child-abusers’); and,
On the professional front, continue to be where one is, curse the fate that let them down, become wild, rave ‘n’ rant against the whole world and hide behind computer to try to take out their miserable-frustrations on others.
You might never have faced such a scenario in your life.
1. The reason for the set back. Is it because the industry has slowed down, or is it because of the organization I work in, or is it because of me?
The answers on how to deal with a career set back would depend on the answers to the above.
Let us analyze each.
1) Industry has slowed down? Can I move to another industry? Will my skills and qualifications be suitable for another industry?
2) Organization failure? Should I move to another organization, or should I move to another department within the same organization - is this possible
3) Failure on my part - I can fail because my skill set is not appropriate for the job I am required to handle, or because of lack of correct perception on part of my superiors or for any other reason - such as lack of diligence etc. Once again, I need to ask what I must do to rectify the situation, can it be rectified while staying within the organization, or do I need to move away elsewhere and not repeat my mistakes, if the failure stems from my mistake.
The world is shrinking, it is always best to part amicably, even if one needs to start afresh and to be in touch with old colleagues. At times, these very colleagues can help you get back on your feet.
Venting is perhaps good, start a private Blog if you want to vent, discuss with close family and friends, but never ever blame someone else. Step into the shoes of the management and try and see things from their view pt as well.
I welcome your suggestion on this and recommend to mprove it better.

Assuming there was a set back in my career, I would analyze the following:
