1 - Talk to your employer before you leave

It will be beneficial for you to understand the reasons why your role has been disestablished as this will be valuable to communicate when you speak with potential new employers.

Ask your employer if they will offer any outplacement services and if yes, contact PN Personnel.

Also ask if your employer can be a referee for your future job applications. Re-confirm their contact details so you can share this information with recruiters/employers. 

2 - Make a Career Plan

Take some time to re-evaluate your career aspirations and goals. Ask yourself these questions:

• What elements of your current role have you enjoyed the most and the least?
• Where do you see yourself in a year’s time?
• What do you still want to learn?
• What hours would you consider?
• Review salary expectations, from your ideal to the minimum you would consider?
• What aspects of a job can you compromise? Ie. Would you work one day in the weekend or would you commute?

You may find you want to go down a slightly different career path, you’re ready to take the next step in your career or you may want to take a step back from previous responsibilities.
