Welcome! Thank you for tune into Life Plus Up with your host Kevin Yang! For all the listeners, Life Plus Up is a podcast dedicated to making your life better by achieving success in three core components of life: Personal, Financial, and Career

Imagine it is Wednesday morning, you are getting on one of those routine morning conference calls with your senior management. However, as soon as the call starts, you felt the atmosphere changed as your top leaders changed the tones and addressed hardships that the company is currently facing. Moments later, they announced that you are part of “affected” employees, your clock to unemployment begins to tick as your time is running out. Welcome to Episode 6, “Project: Surviving Layoff – The Ultimate Guide for Job Hunting and Career Transition!”

Before we start, let us begin with some positive news

Getting laid off is more common than you think. Statistically shows that every year, 1 in 10 Americans will be laid off. Yes, 1 in 10, so if you know at least ten people in your network, one of them is going through a career transition now. As a life coach for over 15 years, I want to dedicate my experience to help others to survive this life-changing event, so I decided to create an ultimate guide for anyone who needs it. Remember, you don’t have to be laid off to use this guide. The guide dedicates to anyone who will like to step out of their comfort zone and seize this rare opportunity to make their life better going forward

The 8 steps of the Ultimate Guide to Job Hunting and Career Transition are:

1. Know Your Package and Resources

2. Determine Your Career Goal and Assess Your Skills

3. Review and Create Communication Strategies

4. Know Your Target Market

5. Time to Get Your Message Out

6. The Interview

7. Post-Interview and Offer Negotiation

8. Easing into Your Career
