It is important when "Impacted"

The first and most important point when you are #impacted is that you need to consider the point or juncture of your life as an #opportunity and not as a threat of course it's going to be very challenging but please remember “This will pass as well”

So what is next? This is a big question mark that is in front of you.

There is a perspective that you can view in such a way that either view it when you close your fingers to the palm and bring it near your face what do you see only the Palm?

Or see it from a distance of 10 inches, you see not just your palm but many other things around. So is the problem, view it from a distance.

This is a time to stop working and review yourself what have been your achievements which you will bring your strength’s out and what have been your failures that will bring or reflect your weaknesses?

Well, the good news is that you have the time, energy, aptitude, and willingness to improve on both your strengths and your weak areas.

The best companion you have at this time of your career course would be learning and honing your skills and your abilities.

The time to also soul searching about the direction you may want to make your move towards something new.

Spend 8 to 9 hours #learning , experimenting, and honing your skills every single day.

Remember a sharp knife cuts faster and a bright and capable person makes the cut in the interview.

Letting your mind worry about your future is a waste of time instead being progressive to make the change gives the taste of life.

Life portrays situations (ups and downs) take it in your stride.

One of the most important aspects is that, you need to shed all kinds of inhibitions.

Inhibitions to communicating, inhibitions to reach out, inhibitions to meet new people, inhibitions to build contacts, inhibitions to express your ideas, inhibitions to attend interviews, inhibitions to attend learning courses, inhibitions to talk your fears to your family and friends, inhibitions to cry or laugh aloud.

Do the above more now as now you have the time and the ability to do so.

Remember gone are those days when the world's impacted layoffs career breaks etc. were looked at as a blemish in your career journey. Today every hiring manager understands the pain and is open to onboard those who are impacted or have a career break.

We see job boards mentioning specific categories called impacted which has the most number of searches.

So feel more confident to apply for jobs across multiple portals for job boards whether it is big or small as you may stumble on an opportunity from anywhere if companies don't have an outplacement process start approaching people who could be relevant to your career move true social media platforms such as LinkedIn or Facebook.

Seek help to enhance your portfolio and resume there are professionals who could do a great amount of help on this

This will have a positive impact on your job hunt and career change.

If you are a senior person searching for a role after being impacted, well I would say you should be spending a lot of time connecting with people either to find your next job or to metamorphosis to become a #selfemployed professional or an #entrepreneur.

It is certainly not going to be easy for you to either find the job suiting your caliber your aspirations and your payscale or to have a drastic change in your life to start something on your own.

The good news is there are options for you to choose from and to make the right move.

It is important to make a conscious decision as this would be either rewarding or catastrophic.

Assess your options with a SWOT analysis and encourage suggestions but go with your gut instinct and have your decisions made after an informed approach.

Focus a lot on your health. Take long walks /Joggs, listen to your favorite music or jokes, hobby should be your best friend now.

Reading, doing an upgrade course or a certification, understanding technology, participating in seminars or forums, going to an exhibition, or meeting an old friend should be some of the must-dos which you should be doing on a weekly basis.

Keep a busy schedule as this will prevent you from having negative thoughts and make you more progressive and more accessible to people to make sure that you get an opportunity at the earliest.

Sooner or later you will get your next career break and this would look like a journey that has various phases you have crossed in your life.

Wishing you Good luck and Godspeed. Happy Hunting.?
