Ugh! Even more mass layoffs are hitting hard across so many sectors right now. I truly believe this is just the beginning of it too. I hope I’m wrong.. It sucks. It’s scary. It’s brutal! But with these unprecedented cutbacks, come new opportunities. If you're struggling to find work in today’s market, it’s crucial to re-evaluate your options—sometimes a career pivot is necessary. After 20 successful years in recruiting, I’ve transitioned to coaching, and I absolutely love it. Do I miss recruiting? Sure. Do I still search for roles that fit me? Absolutely. But coaching allows me to help job seekers in a similar way, and that’s incredibly rewarding. What saved me from the fate many recruiters are facing today was my willingness to embrace change and adapt early. It’s a tough market, but being open to change is key to surviving and thriving. Tunnel vision is your enemy! Adaptability is your friend. Good luck out there my friends. #CareerPivot #JobSearch #Coaching #Recruiting #CareerAdvice #JobMarket #Adaptability #CareerTransition #Layoffs #Resilience

I’m a massage therapist and a plethora opportunities here. I’m also a health coach which is a back up and I teach English classes online. Lots of options.

Yup. I pivoted to the job-seeker side in January. Best decision I've ever made. Gotta pay the rent and keep food on the table.

Thanks for sharing - this makes total sense. Though I'm not from the US, 90% of our portfolio are, and this impacts small businesses and entrepreneurs tremendously.
