This week, we’re throwing it back to an episode that feels as relevant today as it was when we released it in 2020: navigating a layoff. With a looming recession, the volatile stock market, and sky-high interest rates, it seems like companies everywhere are laying off employees each time we log into LinkedIn — especially in the tech industry. Layoffs can happen for a million different reasons, and it’s important to know that company cuts and restructuring has nothing to do with you personally. Still, losing a job impacts your self-esteem, your bank account and your career goals, but our chat with Latesha Byrd is back to help you bounce forward if it happens to you. Latesha is a certified career coach and the CEO of Perfeqta, a talent development consulting agency that helps companies build high-performing teams and put equity back into talent. Join us as we chat about: - Our personal experience with layoffs
- Three things people should do immediately after they’ve been laid off
- How to gain confidence again
- The importance of a “Career Readiness Toolkit”
- How to talk about your layoff in an interview
- Key traits top talent have that sets them apart
- Important questions to ask in an interview
- How to use LinkedIn to build your own personal brand
We hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone and ready to jump into your next big opportunity!
