Laid Off. Now What?

Episode 293 - You've Been Laid Off. Now What? A Step-by-Step Guide to Rebuilding Your CareerOne of the most common missteps I see is jumping into job applications without taking the time for reflection. Before you start sending out resumes, stop and ask yourself: What do I want in my next role? What am I no longer willing to tolerate? What type of employer suits my life stage now? This is especially crucial for professionals over 40 who want long-term alignment. Write down what has worked in your career and what hasn’t. Reflect on what energizes you and what drains you. This process helps you realign your career goals with your personal values and lifestyle needs.Read the full Blog on the Website31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:00:00 Navigating Job Loss: A Personal Journey03:51 Processing the Emotional Impact of Layoffs07:42 Financial Check-In: Stabilizing Your Situation09:10 Reflecting on Career Goals: A Reset Moment13:31 Updating Career Tools: Resume and LinkedIn Optimization15:23 Networking: The Key to Job Searching21:34 Well-Being During Job Search: Protecting Your Mental Health23:41 Conclusion: Embracing Change and Supporting OthersLinks mentioned in this episode:Reset Your CareerBecome a Career Pivot AllyEpisode 241 - You've Been Laid Off, Now What?
