I was laid off in October. About a week ago, I decided to post something on LinkedIn about what helped me in processing my layoff. While it was scary at first to make something like that so public, I had a lot of support from past coworkers who commented and sent me DMs with opportunities at their respective companies. Social media can be a great networking tool. The post got 20k impressions, which led to more visibility of my profile, and more recruiters reaching out. Good luck!

Look for local meetups and social meetups are good too. I have met people in similar roles in social meetups. I would see if there are any local conferences too.

Applying to jobs online doesn’t work.

Here’s a better way:

Before a job is posted, it’s talked about among hiring managers and HR.

This is the hidden job market at every company.

You want your name to be in those discussions.

You get your name in those discussions by having conversations with hiring managers and HR at your target companies.

Your mind is like your news feed.

Negative thoughts on repeat is like hitting the “Like” button on negativity:

“I can’t change.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“This is all I know.”

Negative self talk will produce more negative self talk.

You can retrain your brain to ignore negative thoughts and “Like” positive thoughts that help you. When you do, possibilities and productivity increase.

It takes time to change thought patterns.

A coach will get you there faster.
