“Being laid off is not a reflection of your skill set ‚Äî it‚Äôs a reflection of your former company‚Äôs lack of proper planning during a turbulent economy or of its change in business strategy. You have capabilities. You are smart. You can find a new job or change careers.”

This quote is from a Nov 9, 2022 Harvard Business Review article titled “What to Do After Being Laid Off”.

The first suggestion is to Reconfigure Your Mindset to remove negative self thoughts and replace them with a positive attitude. This will go a long way in the next steps you will take.

One good suggestion I heard after I was laid off from a job years ago where the C-Suite decided to switch course was to change how you describe your situation to others.

Instead of repeatedly saying layoff, tell others you in are in a job transition and are looking to upgrade. This little suggestion helps change the way you think about yourself into a more position place.

Take care and keep your attitude positive.
