You've been laid off from your job. What's the best way to explore new career paths?

Start with an exploration of what is deep inside you, what makes your heart sing, what you enjoyed about your past roles and what you didn't, what were you passionate about when you were younger, when in your life you felt you did something meaningful, if you really want to consider a new career (not just a move to the next closest role within the same function). Assessments of your skills and strengths will be helpful once you decide what is your bigger WHY and what will be the first reasonable step in this direction.

If you've been laid off from your job, it can be an opportunity to explore new career paths and possibilities. Start by assessing your skills, interests, and values to identify potential career directions. Research industries and roles that align with your strengths and passions, considering factors like job outlook and growth opportunities. Network with professionals in fields you're interested in, attend industry events, and seek informational interviews to gain insights and advice. Additionally, consider upskilling or retraining through courses or certifications to enhance your qualifications for new career opportunities. Embrace this transition as a chance for growth and self-discovery.

Take the job loss as an opportunity, like a blank canvas waiting for you to paint your new career path!! Look within yourself and choose the colors that truly resonate with you. Start painting that vision which has been on your mind for years but you never dared to pursue. Life has given you this opportunity. Grasp it, express your gratitude, and trust the process.

If you enjoyed your job, then look for a similar job role. If you feel the career didn't match your interest or capability, then seek help from a career counsellor to shortlist the perfect career for you.

N?o custa nada dar uma olhada e descobrir ,algo que você se identifique para fazer um extra, até ser inserido no mercado, atualizar o seu currículo,investir em si mesmo, fazendo cursos e se capacitando mais.Tudo isso vai agregar valor ao seu currículo e quanto mais diferencial tiver, maiores s?o as chances de conseguir um novo emprego, fa?o exatamente isso,quanto mais pessoas você entrar em contato, ajuda muito a ampliar as possibilidades e oportunidades.se você ficar parado pode desistir.eu pergunto mesmo,pode me ajudar?n?o vai tirar meu valor, apenas n?o estou esperando cair do céu,só chuva,granizo.se n?o der certo vai empreender,mas n?o desiste dos seus sonhos,que tem high level.

You might shortlist a bunch of careers which you can narrow down further based on your financial capacity and commitment time frame required for a career.

Sometimes laying off could be a blessing in disguise. It could give you time to rethink, restrategise and upskill for better prospects.

Pay attention to the narrative you create / the story you tell yourself about being laid off. The risk of taking it too personally and letting it undermine our identity and strengths is that we carry this with us into our new jobs/new careers. We feel less confident and over time our wellbeing also takes a hit. Consider creating a positive story of growth and learning instead.
