- 0-5 MinutesWelcome + Introductions + AgendaShare personal story of being laid off in 2001:Set the SceneIt was the fall of 2001, and I had been in the travel industry for 10 years. During my career, I had witnessed economic changes, commission cuts, and terrorist activity that led to mass lay-offs. Those of us who survived the first two rounds of lay-offs came to work each day with a sense of fear and dread. “Could this be our day to get fired?” we thought. It was enough to give a person ulcers.My HR Manager, Jim, called me into his office on a Friday morning. Jim was more nervous than I was, because he was the one who had already delivered bad news to a few dozen of my co-workers. Today was my day to be affected by the lay-offs. I packed up my desk and went home. I called a friend of mine, Brent, to let him know I’d been laid off. It helped having support. I went to the unemployment office for the first time in my life. Even though I knew this happened to millions of people, I felt deflated and frustrated, especially since I’d never had to work hard to get a job. I’d always met someone who worked where I wanted to work and just got hired. There wasn’t much work to it. Introduce the CharactersI responded to an ad in the paper from a career counselor. Joe was his name and he had worked with many other people like me who had lost their jobs.Encounter the Obstacle (Pile on the Obstacles)Unemployment numbers were at a record high and I was still two years from finishing my Bachelor’s degree. After sending out numerous resumes, I soon realized I didn’t have any kind of proven plan for getting my next position.Overcome the ObstaclesJoe mapped out a plan to train and coach me in the areas of networking, answering interview questions, writing an attention-getting resume, and managing a successful career campaign. We met each week and worked on each phase of the process. I told people I knew that I was in a career search and wanted to meet business owners and executives for advice and direction. I wrote letters to 29 people requesting a meeting and scheduled meetings with 28 of them. I couldn’t believe how helpful people were. Out of those 28 meetings, 5 people were willing to create a position for me in their companies—positions that hadn’t existed before I walked into their offices.Resolve the StoryIt was a challenge to turn down some of these opportunities, but with the help of a coach, I was able to choose the best fit with an attractive compensation package.Make the PointEach of us has had experiences in our careers where the position didn’t work out or our employer had to let good people go as part of a business decision. With the support of our friends and family and the application of some proven career search strategies, we can create our next great opportunity.Ask the QuestionWhat about you? Do you want to play an active rather than a passive role to tap into the hidden job market?Restate the Phrase that PaysIf so, let’s generate momentum for your career!Review Agenda
