Episode 293 - You've Been Laid Off. Now What? A Step-by-Step Guide to Rebuilding Your Career
One 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.
