Were you laid off, or made redundant as some would say, over the past year or so?
Being laid off is an incredibly challenging, emotional, and frustrating experience. In this episode we are sharing our personal experiences with navigating this particular season, strategies we are using to get through it, and exploring ways to look at this time, not as defeat, but as an opportunity to re-invent who we are.
The job market today is radically different from what it was in the past. There are thousands more qualified candidates and fewer positions, where applicants end up getting ghosted by employers.
Not to mention the hours you spend tailoring your resume to the job posting and getting past the applicant tracking systems once you’ve broken that code, is a whole other debacle.
The truth is, being laid off could be the setback you need for that comeback!
