What do you do if you've been laid off and want to impress potential employers?

Being laid off definitely stinks. But see it as an opportunity to get a better job in a better company. Update your CV & LinkedIn profile soon. Emphasize your achievements/goals that you have fulfilled. Look at the people in your network. Are you able to approach them & ask for some information about job vacancies? While you interact with your network, try to enhance skills related to your field of work & get a chance to meet more people to broaden your network. Be positive & maintain good personal branding. Do not talk/write bad stuff about your previous employer/company, because it will backfire. Learn about the next potential employers, then you will be better prepared if you are given a chance to have interview sessions with them.

Assess your skills, where you what to be and where you are. Build those skills that you need to by volunteering, completing short courses, reading, listening to TED talks etc. In conjunction with this build your brand, develop a pitch that you can not only use on your resume within the profile but also verbally so you can articulate what it is that you are looking for in a role. Attend relevant networking events, create relevant networking events by catching up for a coffee with individuals in the industry, in the role that you want to be in.

After a layoff, turn the experience into an opportunity. Update your CV and LinkedIn to reflect new skills and achievements. Craft a positive narrative about your layoff, emphasising future goals rather than past events. Engage in professional development to bridge skill gaps and demonstrate your commitment to growth. Network actively, using industry contacts and informational interviews to connect with potential employers. Tailor your applications, showcasing how your unique experiences and skills make you an asset. By focusing on learning and future contributions, you can impress potential employers and navigate towards your next opportunity.
