Great and very relatable post- and something I’ve been personally wrangling with since being part of a layoff last year. Truly so much has changed since I last applied for work in 2021. I’m currently learning the importance of networking and wish I had -like you suggest- connections and preparations in place before needing them.
Truth be told though, this time of unemployment has been the greatest gift. It gave me the chance to pause and reassess what I really want to do, which became really clear after coming across EA through my job search. Now I’m halfway through CEA’s High-Impact Career Pivot Bootcamp and have a lot more strategy to my job search- and will hopefully soon land a remote operations role.
I hope you enjoy your sabbatical in June- taking time to fill your own cup is a crucial part of showing up your best for others!
hey Leonie, many thanks for reading and your comment! Glad it resonated.
I’m happy to hear you’ve found unemployment useful to your progress! Good luck with your role search! And many thanks for the kind sabbatical wishes :)
