Layoffs suck. It’s a fact. But if you’re sitting there feeling like you’ve lost your way, it’s time to hit reset. Don’t waste your time on “just get another job” advice that doesn’t take into account the reality of a layoff—and what’s really at stake for your career.
In “If You’ve Been Laid Off, Read This”, executive coach Angela Justice, PhD offers the kind of practical, no-nonsense advice you won’t find in typical career guides. This is about recalibrating, getting focused and creating a strategy that actually works.
Here’s what you’ll get from the post:
- Stop Wasting Time: Stop scrambling to apply for every job that’s out there. Angela explains why taking a step back and clarifying your long-term goals will set you up for something better than a quick fix. It’s about taking control of the process—not letting the process control you.
- Networking with a Purpose: If you’re thinking, “I don’t want to network because it feels awkward,” this post will change that. Angela shares exactly how to approach your network in a way that doesn’t feel like begging for a job, but rather building genuine, valuable connections that actually open doors.
- Redefine What "Success" Looks Like: Instead of chasing the same old roles, Angela urges you to redefine career success. Discover how to craft a path that aligns with your true strengths and values, and how to make strategic moves that set you up for something more meaningful.
This isn’t about hoping for the best. It’s about playing your cards right to move forward with confidence, clarity and intention.
