You’ve just been laid off …NOW WHAT?!?!

Being laid off is really hard. There is no skirting around that.

TRUE STORY
A recent client of mine was laid off with 2 months of severance. She was understandable very upset and took a full week for anger, sadness, binging, and self-love. She wanted to take longer, but couldn’t afford to. Reality is real! She buckled down

Highlights

• Together we made a list of 5 people in her network that would be an easy reach-out. Over the weeks this list grew and evolved.

• I worked with her to update her LinkedIn profile with skills and job titles. This continued to evolve.

• We searched for positions and I created a resume easily customizable for multiple applications.

• She networked before submitting applications (if she knew someone).

• She submitted 10 total applications.

  The Result

• She received multiple interviews, multiple rounds of interviews, and several offers.

• She is now earning more $$ than before. (This took some savvy negotiation.)

• She was set in her new position just as her 2 months was up.
  
  The Other Part of the Story

• It was HARD and VULNERABLE work. There were panic attacks, uncomfortable networking, and long interview prep.

• The process was hard and there was anxiety. But she was not alone in the process.

• It did yield GREAT RESULTS.

Having a game plan and a TO-DO List makes all the difference.
