DEAR ABBY: I got laid off – what are actionable and proactive things I can do to level-up and be ready to make a job offer happen??
Getting laid off is a scary time regardless the reason. Applying to jobs can feel overwhelming and wondering if your resume is even being seen. Here are a few things that I’ve seen elevate your job search!

🪴NETWORKING
Get your name out there. The more awareness there is and the more people you get to know, the more people you have fighting for you! Get a good recruiter (Prospex Recruiting) on your side too that can show you additional positions you won’t see on your own.
🪴UPDATE YOUR LINKEDIN
Make sure that you are “easy to find”. Have good key words and good detail in each position to allow companies searching for talent be able to find you! Make sure your positions on your LI match your Resume.
🪴UPDATE YOUR RESUME
make sure your resume is easy to digest while also giving enough detail to allow companies to want to learn more. Anyone on our Prospex Recruiting team is happy to review your resume and give pointers.
🪴 STAY POSITIVE!
A layoff can take a blow to your confidence. Make sure that as you are interviewing you stay focused on your strengths and how you can add value to the team, and not let your frustrations bleed into your responses.
