Things to do after getting laid off

So sorry to hear this @Yamprofessional! I’ve seen you on grapevine for some time and you’ve been so great! It felt like a friend got laid off :(

Please let me know if anything I can do to help! :/

These worked really well for me when I was in same situation -

1. Brush up your skills/knowledge. Keep yourself ready for interviews.
2. Limit your screen time.
3. Try to see positive side, be hopeful.
4. Be grateful for other things which you have.
5. Don’t hesitate to reach out to that one person whom you dint speak in last 10 years. You never know where your next opportunity is hidden.
6. Focus on your health, both physical and mental.
7. Talk to people if you feel low.
8. Have atleast 3 choices of your next job. Start targeting for top priority one. If that doesn’t work out for next 10-15 days. Move to 2nd preferred choice and so on.

All the best !

I know it’s the worst experience for any employee. Few things -

• Though many comments here mentioned “take some time to recover”. I would say, that shouldn’t be the approach, market is becoming ultra-competitive and you need to crack the next role asap. Reason is - The more you delay, people will misuse ( majority will) your situation to their advantage. I already see suppression of compensation in market.

• Take profile view services from naukri.com, it keeps your profile on top and helps you get few calls

• Keep in touch with the people who are going through the same phase. You will have your ranting corner without any power dynamics at play.

• Use LinkedIn search box “ hiring + role_name” every day, and keep following people making relevant posts.

• Be ready to face rejections, accepting it before helps a lot.

I'm really sorry to hear this. Get the papers, salary slip, TDS stuff (basically all things finances sorted).

Take anything imp from device if you still have access to the accounts.

Lastly, it happens, it's not your fault. Take time off to recover and rejuvenate. Then chart out what you want to do next.

Good luck mate!

My condolences, take care my dude!

Whatever you do, please do not shit post and corporate worship on LinkedIn about how great byejuice was
