Job cuts are big news right now. We know the chop is going to come and it is coming down swift and hard. Instead of worrying and fretting about how to survive should the axe swing your way, here are some thoughts to consider regarding job searches and how to improve your chances in a job loss situation.
1) Get proactive: pull out all the stops and start looking immediately. Scour all the local and national ads as well as online job ads. Don't forget to check your own staff notice board. Your company may be in a position where although involved in job losses, they need to fill different roles within the company, either where you are based or at a different location.
2) Fine tune your CV: Having a professional-looking CV is key to improving your chances in a job search. If you need help, check online for guidance. It needs to be clear, with all the relevant information easy to follow. You want to appear attractive, professional and worth investing in, so take all the time you need to make sure it's right.
3) Get networking: who do you know? Make a list of every single person you know and what they do (don't forget to include all the people you have met at weddings etc.) Start chatting to see if they know of any new opportunities opening up. Who is the top person in your sector or industry? See if you can attend functions where you are most likely to meet and find a way to introduce yourself. If you want to improve your chances in job search situations, you have to swallow your pride and get proactive.
4) Seek financial help. If you know you are likely to suffer with money shortage - don't wait. Check out the Moneymadeclear website which has numerous step-by-step guides to help with finances in job loss situations and also have free printed guides. The Financial Services Authority have tried hard to make an accessible site with good quality help, so make use of it. Check what redundancy money you will receive and also what benefits you would be entitled to in case of job loss situation. Having all the information to hand will help stem the worry.
5) Use what's available. If your job search produces zero results and you have your own computer and internet access, research ways to turn it into an income producer. Use what you have now. Internet marketing is big business and currently there are 2 billion online users. This has created a worldwide marketplace. People are using it to showcase their idea, product or service to provide for their families where other sources have failed. Invest your time and money to gain up-to-date training on using this amazing resource for your own benefit.
