After 3 1/2 years as a Sr. HR Generalist at my current role I was let go on Monday. I have been interviewing with 3 companies recently but not guaranteed. I guess I need a little bit of encouragement because I know what I can and do bring to a company but it has made me question myself to an extent. I’m completely redoing my as there is a job I need to apply to TODAY. What tips, advice, etc can you share as my mind is in complete ADHD overdrive mode.

What a shame your company didn’t recognize your talent. Focus on the path forward, give yourself clear daily and weekly to-dos and goals. Find a way to give yourself structure and a routine during this team, take care of yourself but don’t be too hard on yourself (ie set realistic goals and don’t burn yourself out).

When applying if you get a "we have decided to not move forward " response or something simular, if the job comes up again apply again. AI is still new and I landed this job after being told no 4 times for it. Most of the time recruiters dont even see your app before its trashed.

I got laid off in May after seven years and honestly, they did me a favor. I landed a job a couple months later that I love in a different industry, with people who appreciate my expertise and employees who already have learned i am a good resource and listener.
There’s hope, just be persistent!

I'm sorry. What happened stinks, but you will survive and thrive.

RE: encouragement/ideas: I have started running my CV, answers to job-related questionnaires, correspondence, etc. through AI for "review." (I'm sure this contact as a surprise, hit I can get wordy and even obtuse at times.)

I didn't do it a lot, but I should do it more.
It helps me clarify my thoughts. It's also great for making sure that my applications match the job listing well.

Of course, I thoroughly review any output, and I ignore suggestions with which I do not agree. Nevertheless, AI has helped me by improving my writing and saving me (and my husband) time reviewing and editing it.

Wishing you the best!!!

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.
