Within 6 months of 2024, top IT companies cut over 72,000 jobs. This reflects the industry’s response to evolving technologies and market demands. So, as someone who has been laid off recently, what should you do? Here’s a guide to help you navigate the path ahead: 📌Take Time to Reflect: Allow yourself a moment to process the change. It’s okay to take a short break before jumping back into the job hunt. 📌 Assess your finances: Review your financial situation and budget accordingly. Consider any severance package and unemployment benefits you’re entitled to. 📌 Update your resume: Highlight your achievements and tailor your resume to reflect the skills most in demand. 📌 Network: Reach out to your professional network, attend industry events, and consider informational interviews to explore new opportunities. 📌 Upskill: Use this time to learn new technologies or enhance your existing skills. Online courses and certifications can be a great way to stay competitive. 📌 Consider a career pivot: If you’ve been contemplating a change, this might be the perfect opportunity to explore a new industry or role. 📌 Stay Positive: Job searching can be a marathon, not a sprint. Maintain a positive outlook and be persistent. Remember, layoffs are often a reflection of company strategy and not individual performance. This transition can be an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. #CareerTransition #JobSearchTips

Harnessing Change: 15 Trends That Will Define the Future of Work!

HI! 🔍 Do you work in a highly regulated industry? Navigating the complexities of hiring requires expertise and diligence. I work with clients to ensure that we comply with strict policies, including EEOC and OFCCP guidelines. Here’s how we help: 1. Confidential Sourcing/Recruiting: Even if you have a strong applicant, confidential positions may still need to be posted at some point during the hiring process. Transparency is key to compliance. 2. Agency Compliance: If you engage a recruiting agency, it's crucial they adhere to OFCCP guidelines. Make sure this is stipulated in your contract agreement. Contract agencies must share the same compliance obligations and should provide OFCCP records when involved in a search. 3. Specific Search Criteria: For OFCCP compliance, using platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed requires precise search criteria. Communications must be sent to all who appear in the search results, regardless of perceived qualifications. During an audit, you’ll need to produce records of these communications. 💡 Disclaimer: These guidelines may not apply universally and are subject to change. This post is intended for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal guidance. Always consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with current regulations. 🔗 Learn more about how we can assist your business and reach out to me today at [email protected]. #HireIncentive #Compliance #Recruiting #EEOC #OFCCP #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #HR #RegulatoryCompliance #LegalGuidelines

Ever wondered how to transition into a C-level executive role?? For so many talented leaders, getting to that next level isn’t just about more hard work; it’s about strategy, positioning, and timing. Here are some critical steps to transition into an executive role: 1️⃣ Build a Strategic Network Connect with other executives and influencers in your industry. They often know about openings before they're posted. 2️⃣ Strengthen Your Personal Brand Make sure your LinkedIn profile and resume scream “executive material.” Highlight achievements that showcase vision and leadership. 3️⃣ Gain Cross-Functional Experience The best C-level leaders understand various facets of a business, so seek out roles or projects that broaden your perspective. Moving into the C-suite is a journey that requires planning and finesse, but the rewards are worth it. 🌟 Does it helped? #CareerAdvice #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #CLevelRoles #CareerGrowth

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, HR leaders play a pivotal role in shaping the future of business. Their influence is crucial in bridging skill gaps and preparing a workforce that is ready for the challenges ahead. Shared my thoughts at the NSDC SHRM HR Leadership Council Connect 2024, focusing on 'Bridging Skill Gaps for a Future-Ready Workforce’ As we look towards the future, the growth of Indian businesses will be largely determined by the strategic vision and actions of our HR leaders. Together, we can foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation, ensuring that our workforce is equipped to thrive in a technology-driven economy. #Skilling #HR #Leadership #SHRM #FutureOfWork #NEP #IndianEconomy #Technology #WorkforceDevelopment #SkillIndia #Innovation #TalentManagement #EmployeeEngagement #HRStrategy #NSDCHRLeadershipCouncilConnect2024 @SHRMIndia
