It's been a tough time with all the recent layoffs
And I've had many come to me in the recent months seeking advice
As a #careercoach, I want to offer my insights on the issue and some advice for those who have been recently affected.
(1) A layoff does not define you or your worth as a professional.
- Companies often make tough decisions based on business needs
- And sometimes that means letting go of valuable employees
- It is NOT a reflection of your skills or performance.
(2) Take time to process your emotions and reflect on your next steps.
- This may include updating your #resume and LinkedIn profile,
- #Networking with other professionals in your industry,
- Exploring new job #opportunities.
- You may even consider starting your own business or #freelancing.
Use this time to figure out who you are and what you want from your career
And not let life pass you by anymore
Ask yourself:
π What aspects of your career have you been proud of?
π€ What aspects are lacking?
π What more would you want?
(3) Don't be afraid to seek help and support from others
- Talk to friends, family, and colleagues who can provide emotional support and offer job leads or referrals.
- And if you're looking for someone to help you in this journey, feel free to book a complimentary discovery call with me.
Iβd love to see how I can help. β¨
Remember, a layoff may feel like the end of one chapter, but it can also be the beginning of a new and exciting opportunity.
π #Staypositive, stay motivated, and keep pushing forward. You got this! πͺ
