We Got Let Go, and We Accept It – Here's How to Land a Fresh Position That Fits You Personally
A new year's onset is often a time for reflection, and for numerous people, that includes evaluating our work lives.
Two publishing professionals who left their roles following company reorganizations originally thought it was a disaster.
"I invested all my energy into that role... I had faith in the values we promoted. However, regarding my situation, that ethos weren't there," she states.
They both chose to employ the word "let go" and suggest that being honest about it can assist you process the event.
"There are countless alternative phrases for job loss. However, the quicker you acknowledge it, the faster you're honest about it, the sooner you can move on.
"It's the quickest route to anything you desire next," she notes.
Today, they are excelling in new ventures, with one leading a media business and the other holding the position of editor-in-chief for a high-end journal.
For those who have been made redundant or are simply contemplating a change, these are four approaches to assist you.
1. Consider Last Year
It's typical to feel some apprehension regarding your job post-festive period.
A career expert stresses the value of reflection prior to launching a fresh job hunt.
She suggests people to consider what they wish to pursue more, what to reduce, and what motivates or depletes their drive.
Looking back at your accomplishments to identify underlying threads is useful too. "Try to avoid focusing solely on the most recent period, because we all suffer from for recent-event bias that can obstruct your judgment," she states.
Another professional says it is vital to determine the role of work fits in your life.
This requires being candid regarding the hours you spend working and the influence on your personal and family life.
After her own experience, she suggests against letting yourself be shaped solely by your career.
2. Take Small Steps
The expert states that individuals can take incremental moves for a career transition without diving in headfirst.
Her own journey took seven years to make the jump from a corporate role to running a company full-time, developing the venture while still employed, which allowed self-funding from the start.
"It required additional time, but that was how I did it in a sustainable way," she explains.
She advocates for an experimental approach.
This might involve pro bono work, getting involved in an initiative that captures your interest, or agreeing to a different task at your present job.
"The worst outcome, you discover it's not a fit, but it's better to learn now rather than after you've switched careers," she adds.
She also advises exploring short-term "bridging roles". These might not be the dream position, but they serve as progress forward, like a job that shares traits to the career you want, but in a different industry or sector.
"It involves giving yourself the space to say this works for now, but that does not mean for all time.
"This is a clever approach to get closer to that desired transition."
3. Acknowledge Your Achievements
For anyone who has recently lost your role, you aren't alone – redundancy rates have surged to high levels in recent times.
She held a senior role in a magazine, previously her entire team were made redundant following a decision to closed the print version.
Understanding that this was not indicative of her performance helped her handle the transition.
"What you've learned doesn't go away because you lost your job.
"Don't give up your confidence, it's vital for all individuals to recall their own worth."
Another professional was let go after a decade in a business journal following a regime change in management and the appointment of new leadership.
She notes that much of the embarrassment of dismissal is in your head.
"Given that hundreds of thousands of professionals losing jobs, it's usually not about you. It's probably not about you, so avoid carrying that burden of shame forward."
4. Develop a Career Checklist
When you're actively hunting for work or are utterly miserable at work, the temptation is to apply hastily for any job – disregarding what suits you.
Yet, this can be a big misstep.
Alternatively, she proposes a method called "browsing" – filtering opportunities on position summaries that seem appealing.
She advises exploring professional networks and gathering a selection of that appeal to you.
