This podcast is a summary of tips I offer in my free checklist, "Do This Now."
https://www.mellermarketing.com/dothisnow
This is a checklist for good people who have been downsized, let go, laid off, “restructured out of a role,” or any other fancy corporate buzzwords which means your company terminated your employment for cost-cutting reasons, and you're not sure what to do now.
Compiled by Brenda Meller with input by career strategy experts and VIP job seekers. This list is meant to act as a resource and offer general guidelines based on our experience. Consult an attorney for legal advice.
Here are the key points from the podcast about career transition:
Legal Considerations:
- Review Legal Documents: Don't sign anything without legal review, especially separation agreements or severance contracts.
- Don't Feel Pressured: Employers must give you time to review documents.
- Avoid a Letter of Resignation: If you're being let go, don't give your employer a letter of resignation as it might impact unemployment benefits.
Benefits and Resources:
- Negotiate Benefits: Try to negotiate severance package benefits, such as extended health insurance.
- Check HR Manual: Review your HR / employee manual for additional benefits.
- File for Unemployment: File for unemployment benefits as soon as possible.
- Know Your Worth: Research market rates for your skills and experience.
- Ask to Buy Your Laptop and/or work-issued cellphone: especially if you don't have these at home.
- Save Important Information: Before leaving your job, save important documents, contact information, and work samples.
- Get Clarification on References: Ask your former employer if they're willing to provide a reference.
- Use Available Resources: Utilize local libraries, unemployment offices, and online resources.
Job Search Strategies:
- Utilize Resources: Take advantage of outplacement services and other resources offered by your former employer.
- Leverage LinkedIn: Update your profile, change your primary email, and network with industry professionals.
- Network Effectively: Attend industry events, volunteer, and connect with people in your field.
- Avoid the Black Hole: Don't spend all your time applying for jobs; focus on networking and building relationships.
- Seek Support: Join job seeker support groups and attend networking events.
By following these tips, you can increase your chances of a successful career transition and land your next job.
