My Severance Is Running Out. Now What? Three Moves That Matter.

Most people treat severance like a parachute. Safe. Cushioned. Time to drift.

Wrong. Severance isn’t a parachute—it’s a timer. And when it hits zero, panic sets in, options shrink, and desperation takes over.

This episode is about flipping that script. Turning panic into power with three moves that matter:

  1. Stop polishing, start positioning. Resumés don’t win offers. Urgency does. Companies hire to stop the bleeding—find the problems only you can solve.

  2. Treat networking like oxygen. 70–80% of hires happen in the hidden job market. That’s not a throwaway stat—a survival law. Block time daily, lead with curiosity, and end every conversation with “Who else should I talk to?”

  3. Future-proof while you hunt. Smart execs don’t just chase the next paycheck. They build their next platform. Learn, share, and be seen—or fade into irrelevance.

    4. Inside, you’ll also hear how to:

    • Spot neon signs of company pain—layoffs, compliance fines, churn, failed integrations.

    • Turn Glassdoor complaints from gossip into gold.

    • Use your unfair advantage to filter out noise and zero in on where you’re needed most.

      • If your severance clock is ticking, this episode gives you a sharper aim, stronger network, and a strategy that turns countdown into launchpad.
