","main_content":"<em>In January of 2023, Heather Balcerek, CPTM, was laid off from Amazon. This article shares the information Heather wished she would have known at the start of the job search journey.<\/em>\r\n\r\nDate: January 18, 2023, 11 a.m. ET\r\n\r\nMy Outlook dings with new emails, but I\u2019m focused on another task. My cell phone rings and it\u2019s my direct report. I think, \u201cWeird, why didn\u2019t she just start a huddle?\u201d I answer and immediately know something is wrong. Through the tears and fears she says, \u201cHeather, I just got an email that my role has been eliminated.\u201d My first response is, \u201cThis must be a mistake. Let me check mine.\u201d And there it was\u2026the same email. My role had been eliminated, too.\"\r\n\r\nAccording to Layoffs.fyi, <a href=\"https:\/\/layoffs.fyi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over 200,000 people<\/a> \u2014 as of the beginning of 2023 \u2014 working for tech companies have a similar story. Each person is embarking on a new journey to find their next job. But how do you start when it feels like you're lost in the forest with no clear path?\r\n\r\nThis article will introduce you to three key steps you can take (along with four scenarios that utilize each) to prepare you to navigate the journey. They can help you reset and restart so you can move forward on your career journey.\r\n<h2>Preparing for a new job search starts before even looking at your resume and LinkedIn profile.<\/h2>\r\nOne of the first things people do after a layoff is grab their resume, quickly update it and start applying. This is normal because the clock is ticking. They need a new job, and they need it now. However, this approach can lead to rejection emails or interviews for roles that aren\u2019t what they want.\r\n\r\nUse these three steps to start, or restart, your job search with greater intention:\r\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare Mentally<\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>After a layoff, allow yourself to go through the steps of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psychcentral.com\/lib\/the-5-stages-of-loss-and-grief#the-kubler-ross-model\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grieving process<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Accept that you may need help along the way, so you can ask for help when needed and take help when it\u2019s offered.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Acknowledge that this journey can be hard, but you\u2019re strong enough to make it through.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare Physically<\/h3>\r\nAnswer the following questions:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>What skills are you most confident in?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>What <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/articles\/professional-development\/how-to-assess-and-bridge-your-skills-gaps-as-a-ld-leader-a-4-step-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skills do you need to improve or gain<\/a>?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>What type of role are you looking for? Are you staying in the type of role\/industry or considering something different?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>What type of work culture and leader do you thrive under?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>What are your values?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare Systems<\/h3>\r\nTrackers, tracker, trackers \u2014 set up the following spreadsheets to help you track your job application progress\/status:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Roles you applied to<\/strong> with a link to the role, salary information and a copy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/wiki\/strategy-alignment-and-planning\/training-manager-job-description\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">job description.<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Examples to use during interviews.<\/strong> Use one of the following methods to tell the story:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>STAR: Situation Task Action Result<\/li>\r\n \t<li>SOAR: Situation Opportunity Action Result<\/li>\r\n \t<li>CAR: Challenge Action Result<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Company\/interview notes<\/strong>: Research the company, its values and reviews. Write out your \u201cTell me about yourself\u201d answer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Not into making trackers yourself? There are tools out there to help, like <a href=\"http:\/\/tealhq.com\/\">Teal<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Prepare your patience as you start the job search.<\/h2>\r\nNow, it\u2019s time to start searching for a new role. This part is daunting, exhausting and generally the hardest. The same three steps we outlined above can help support you during your job search.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare Mentally<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Think about how you will keep a focused mind when you receive rejections or no response at all. Identify a meditation, breathing exercise or activity you can do to bring your mind back to the center.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Remember: As much as you want your job search to be a sprint, it might be a 10K, a marathon or even a 100 miler.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare Physically<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Clean a space or your office to do this work from. It is the designated area for all things job search.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Prepare your resume. Preparing your resume is never the easiest part of a job search, and you will need to adjust it you start applying for roles. Here are a few tips to help you start the process:<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Make sure your email address is appropriate.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Start with a summary that covers your years of experience with the skills you bring.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Have a section of 3-5 career highlights. No need to call out details or company information here. Stick to the results. If you can\u2019t figure out what to add, review your STAR stories.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Skills and areas of expertise come next. These should be specific skills or <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/continuing-professional-development\/training-manager-competency-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competencies<\/a> (as a training manager, there\u2019s no need to highlight basic skills like proficiency in Microsoft Office, Zoom, Slack, etc.).<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Job experience is likely the longest part of your resume and typically the hardest to outline. The bullet points you create should follow the CAR (challenge, action, result) format. What\u2019s key is to show your <em>results<\/em> versus listing out various job duties.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Unless you are a student looking for an internship or about to graduate from college, your education should listed at the end. Remove any dates, your GPA and college location. Add any <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/continuing-professional-development\/certified-professional-in-training-management\/\">certifications<\/a> here as well.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare Systems<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Identify the job boards you want to use and set up saved searches so you can receive alerts.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Set a schedule and include breaks. Hours of looking at job postings and applying can be draining.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","full_width":false,"content_band":[{"acf_fc_layout":"social_callout","blockquote":"As much as you want your job search to be a sprint, it might be a 10K, a marathon or even a 100 miler."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_area","wysiwyg":"<h2>Preparing for your success before day one.<\/h2>\r\nAfter putting in the time to apply for jobs and interviewing, you finally have a job offer. (Cue the confetti!) Getting ready to transition back into the workplace can be a challenge after being laid off. These steps can help you prepare:\r\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare Mentally<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Whether the job search took a month or a year, you still have feelings about the past role and how it ended. Identify ways to help you navigate those feelings as you are preparing to start your new job.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Think about how you feel about starting this new job. Are you nervous, scared or excited? All these (and more) are completely normal emotions to have.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare Physically<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>If you are working remotely, make sure your space is ready to go. Confirm with your recruiter or hiring manager that your equipment will arrive on time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>If you are working in a physical office, map out the commute and check the traffic patterns to ensure you arrive on time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You will likely have meet and greets with your new team. Prepare an \u201cintroduce yourself\u201d speech. Now you won\u2019t have to figure out what to say in that awkward moment. Talk about a confidence booster!<\/li>\r\n \t<li>If possible, get a first day schedule from the hiring manager so you know what to expect.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare Systems<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Starting a new role can be overwhelming. Decide how you will take notes and stay organized.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>If you have to learn new programs or technologies, make sure you have a plan to speed up your learning curve. Watch some <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/articles\/content-development\/5-tips-to-improve-your-in-the-flow-learning-with-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">educational videos<\/a> before day one and consider researching the programs or asking your network for tips.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Preparing your confidence for your first day and week.<\/h2>\r\nThe day has come, and you are starting your new role. The first week can feel overwhelming as you\u2019re not only adjusting to a new role, but also a new team and company. Use the three steps to navigate your first day and week on the job:\r\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare Mentally<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Likely, you will have <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/articles\/professional-development\/its-not-you-how-to-overcome-imposter-syndrome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">imposter syndrome<\/a>. You will have the thoughts of \u201cI can\u2019t do this\u201d or \u201cWhy did they hire me?\u201d This is 100% normal. Remind yourself that the organization <em>chose <\/em>you. They saw something in you that was fit for the role and the team.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Things will go wrong. Your equipment might be delayed or access to a system didn\u2019t get done on time. No matter how well prepared all sides are, there will probably be something that doesn\u2019t go as planned. Just breathe. It\u2019s going to be ok.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You will repeat yourself a lot. Having the prepared introduction will make you feel more confident and comfortable.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You will have questions, and that\u2019s OK. Some questions may feel odd to ask, like \u201cDo we have a specific writing style I need to follow?\u201d (This was one I asked, because it was important in my previous role.) Write your questions down so you can go through them with your manager, onboarding buddy or peers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare Physically<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Revisit the \u201cintroduce yourself\u201d speech. Add or change things as you get comfortable and have some fun facts or unique traits listed.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Prepare a few standard questions to ask during a meet and greet. Ask your manager for any specifics they would like you to cover in those meetings.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare Systems<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Some companies have <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/magazine\/spring-2023\/shaping-the-employee-onboarding-experience\/\">a great onboarding system<\/a> that walks you through everything. Others might not have any official onboarding. Either way, write out a list of items you think you will need to know to get started quickly.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Set a 30\/60\/90-day goal plan with your manager. These benchmarks will help you set the right priorities as you start your new role.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ask for a meeting schedule and any team or group chat channels you need to be added to. This might be a significant question to ask during a meet and greet with your teammates, too.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThese four scenarios are based on my recent experience of being laid off and how I used the three steps during my job search. By sharing these steps, the intention is help you prepare for your search.
