Nurture your network, know your advantages & make yourself visible: Moving forward after redundancy
Amanda Behre, founder and CEO of recently launched coaching platform Dear Thrive, shares some advice for media professionals who have recently been affected by redundancies and cost cutting.
When frequent announcements of redundancies and cost cutting measures are being made across various sectors and the ABS mobility report 2024 revealing an almost 10% YOY decrease in those moving jobs, we are seeing a workforce that’s increasingly stressed but too apprehensive to move. It makes for a tough environment for the average working professional.
While this can be a brutal reality for those that are overwhelmed or finding themselves out of work for longer due to “employer” market conditions, there are a few pieces of advice to consider:
Figure out your unique advantage
A little bit of homework on yourself will go a long way – understand your unique advantage and what it is you stand for. Define your key messages ie. be clear on what keeps you satisfied.
