Summary

You’ve been laid off (or think you might be)... now what? In this episode, Tori runs through a checklist of what to do when you’ve been laid off, including what to ask about compensation and benefits, how to let your network know what’s happening and hopefully open new doors with your connections, and a short pep talk to remind you that you’re so much more than your job. We’ve built out extensive resources for this episode, including links to government websites, previous career episodes on the podcast, and links to webinars, blog posts, and other helpful articles to help you navigate this challenging time.

0:21.4	to talk about today's topic, not because I'm not excited to do my best to give you some
0:26.4	really good information, but because it's just not a fun one. Layoffs is not a fun one. Before
0:32.5	we get into it, though, a little bit of housekeeping. As always, you know that you can leave us a

0:42.2	a little bit of processing, if you were laid off, if you were impacted by a lot of what's happening
0:47.2	right now, please feel free to leave us a voicemail. Tell us about your experience. Ask us any
0:51.8	questions you have we would love to come for you during this time, but also be able to give you any

1:35.4	hadn't read it before. The only certainty in life is change. Oh, God. Okay, I'm just going to need to, I
1:43.3	just need to like walk into the ocean after that. I guess, I guess that's true. This is October. Great.
1:49.3	The only certainty in life is change. Okay, but this episode is also not going to be all encompassing.
1:54.2	We're going to link a ton of resources in our show notes. There's going to be a mix of articles,
1:57.9	links to government websites, additional episodes that we've done on your career, on job interviews,
