Lost Your Job But Found Yourself: Navigating Layoffs and Career Transition
Manage episode 478856757 series 3579869
What happens when your job disappears, but your bills and ambition Don’t? In this raw and powerful episode of Career Convos™️ with Nikki, I talk candidly about what it really feels like to be laid off, and how to navigate the messy middle between endings and new beginnings.
From that gut-punch calendar invite from your boss and HR that changes everything to the silence that follows, this episode is your voice of reason and reminder: you may have lost your job, but you haven’t lost yourself. We get into:
- How to emotionally and strategically handle being laid off, let go, or impacted by a RIF
- Why pausing before jumping into the next job matters more than ever
- The art of rediscovering your value, purpose, and voice post-employment
- How to prep for interviews with clarity and without bitterness
- What “other duties as assigned” really means, and why it’s your career goldmine
- How to use rejection as redirection and avoid the resume black hole
- A word on manifesting better, not just working harder
If you're navigating career transition or feeling stuck after a job loss, let this episode walk with you.
