Following on from yesterday there is a point at which you are ready to start looking for a new job. Once you have decided on the important factors like location, hours of work, finance limits, and the function of the job that will keep you challenged longer term. It is time to apply this to job hunting and reaching out to your network. Let the search begin - Set yourself up for success by initially making sure your CV is up to date, take the time to consider all of the skills, tasks and achievements from your last role, and how you can take these forward into a new position. Use keywords to be picked up by online algorithms, but also showcase your accomplishments, experience, and personality.
After the initial shock of redundancy and the rollercoaster of emotions it can take time to regain focus and feel positive, realising it is not a personal rejection is the first step. There is no point in going for an interview with those bruises still showing and sometimes it can be a sub conscious feeling…
Redundancy, whether you knew it may be coming or the news was a complete shock, can feel like you’ve had the rug pulled out from under you. You may feel a tsunami of emotions from anger, worry, shock, denial, to anxiety and lack of self -worth to name a few. There will be no logic to your emotions and it won’t be pretty or easy. But that is OK.
