Thanks for watching! What resonated most from you about this video?
What if you were actually laid off because of something bad you did on your own rather than it being due to restructuring or an environmental factor?
What if there are no notable achievements?
"I realized I really shine in the space of analytics evidencd by my recent degree and and my five years experience" What if you don't have such evidence, especially since to get such experience you have to convince someone you are a fit for such a role first?
If it is not your fault, you can bring a lot to the table and reference from your past in favor, of course, then it's easy to reason and convince.
Thanks for your comment. I recommend starting with some self-reflection around what went wrong, what you'll do differently next time (if anything), and what you learned from the process. This alone will allow you to show growth from the difficult experience which will reflect well on your professional maturity and current direction.
Ty for sharing. Definitely going to read the book.
You're welcome, Tammy! And can't wait to hear what you think of Job Joy!
I am with 2 year career gap because of family business.
Right now ready for job.
People scares because of gap.
I told them if you have experience and you have gap then also you will get good amount of hike on your previous CTC.
So don't think like you will again start from 0. No you will start from where you stop in previous.
This question is also many people ask
And I see many people get 200-500% hike after career gap....
So this is normal now day's..
how is the job search going so far?
@@kristenzavo Right now not good as expected.
Not receiving interview calls as per expectation.
