Carol’s Top Career Tips, Playlist #3: Navigating a Career Transition with Purpose After a Layoff or Career Break
Job loss can feel destabilizing, but it can also be a powerful moment to reassess, reset, and relaunch with intention. Whether you're returning to work after a career break or pivoting after a layoff, this playlist helps you approach the transition with clarity and confidence.
In playlist #3 of Carol Fishman Cohen’s return-to-work video series, we explore how to turn this time into an opportunity for purposeful growth:
- Reframe this time as a gift: Step back and evaluate if your next move aligns with your goals and values.
- Stay current in your field: Read industry publications, attend webinars, and/or listen to podcasts to stay sharp and credible.
- Define your career goals: Specificity leads to momentum. Vague goals lead to vague results.
- Upskill strategically: Look for courses or programs that include capstone projects, certifications, or hands-on experience.
- Use volunteer work to build experience: It's a great way to expand your network, fill resume gaps, and regain confidence.
