Listen Later

This week we have Emily Wilcock on the show, recruitment manager and Pybites career coach 😍

Emily delves into a topic close to her heart: navigating the job search journey after a redundancy. She was affected herself by a recent layoff and has distilled 7 practical tips that helped her, and will help you, get back on track faster.

Summary of Emily's 7 tips:
1) After been laid off, take a break to reset.
2) Make the most of your job search time.
3) Seek a support group.
4) Your CV! Get feedback, use "outplacement" + friends / family.
5) LinkedIn: post + leverage your wider network.
6) Always be networking.
7) Interview prep / practice.

Of course, there are cool wins + books too :)

Enjoy!
