1 Reflect Deeply

Take time for introspection to understand your career journey thus far. Reflect on what you enjoyed about your previous role, the skills you excelled in, particularly in vendor negotiation, and areas where you see room for growth. This self-assessment will serve as a foundation for your job search and help you identify opportunities that align with your strengths and interests. Consider what you've learned from past experiences and how you can apply those lessons moving forward.

Take time to reflect on your needs and wants in your career journey. Maybe this is a good time to pivot into something new that you've been thinking of for a while like - starting a new line of service or commercialising a hobby. If so, do a self assessment of what brings you meaning and purpose to waking up each day.....is it building on your passion or simply serving others to realise their goals? If not, then deep dive on what skills can position you back into the job market. Mix up technical skills with soft skills such as EQ.This would make you well rounded and adaptable to a changing job market.

2 Update Resume

Your resume is your first impression on potential employers, so ensure it highlights your negotiation skills and any successful projects you've managed. Tailor your resume to reflect the specific requirements of the jobs you're applying for, showcasing how your experience makes you the ideal candidate. Remember to include any recent training or certifications that enhance your vendor negotiation capabilities, as these can be attractive to employers.

3 Network Actively

Networking is vital in discovering new opportunities. Reach out to former colleagues, industry peers, and professionals within the field of vendor negotiation. Attend industry events, join relevant online forums, and participate in discussions to increase your visibility. These connections can offer support, advice, and potentially lead to job opportunities. Personal relationships can often open doors that otherwise might remain closed.

One thing I've found helpful is to not take things personally. You're back on the job market so start reaching out to your network and their network to introduce yourself. It may not be easy at the beginning because you may feel overwhelmed and emotional but manage those emotions logically and don't take things personally to avoid getting into a rut. Your objective - and yours alone - is to land on your feet. So, reach out seek advice, seek opportunities and proposer.

4 Learn Continuously

Use this time to upskill or reskill. If vendor negotiation is your area of expertise, consider deepening your knowledge with advanced negotiation tactics or branching out to related skills that can complement your role. Online courses, webinars, and workshops can be excellent resources for learning. Not only does continuous learning keep your skills sharp, it also demonstrates to potential employers your commitment to professional development.

Here's a chance to pivot! If you have a passion or even a hobby, take the time to learn how to expand on that passion. Look at trends in the changing job market. Look for courses online or in person. I've found online learning is invaluable if cost, time and depth of knowledge is restricted for you. When you are ready you can find courses that engage you plus it widens your perspective. Learning continuously, formally or informally, must never stop. It's what's makes us better. Who knows, it could lead you on another meaningful path in your life.

5 Stay Positive

Maintaining a positive outlook is crucial during this period. It's easy to feel discouraged after a layoff, but remember that each setback can lead to new beginnings. Keep your morale high by setting small, achievable goals for your job search and celebrating when you meet them. Engage in activities that boost your confidence and keep stress at bay. A positive mindset will shine through in interviews and networking opportunities.

6 Strategize Finances

Financial planning is essential after a layoff. Review your budget and cut non-essential expenses to extend your financial runway. If you have expertise in vendor negotiation, consider freelance or consulting work in the interim. This not only provides an income stream but also keeps your skills honed and expands your professional network. Proper financial management will give you the peace of mind to focus on finding your next role.

In my experience, learn to not take things personally. If you do you may end up in a rut. Get into a routine also. Be ready to pivot and be adapatble to changing your perspective on things readily and with an open mind. Recognise those that want to help you and be always grateful for the little things. Your support system is rooting for you quietly and vocally. There are wonders all around us, that we can draw strengths from, during difficult times. Always remember that!
