It might be the middle of winter, but job seekers are feeling the heat. It's hard to read about the 25K+ workers laid off since the start of the year and NOT have pangs of anxiety rush in. Many are concerned about their chances of landing a job amidst the already fierce competition. Though companies are slightly optimistic again with the start of the new year in their hiring projections, these opportunities continue to attract hundreds - 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 - of applicants to much dismay of those in search of that next role.

It’s a difficult and complex job market these days. Revised job numbers indicated an overstatement of well over 800,000 jobs that really did not exist or were not filled. Just like you should always have an updated resume, it’s good to have an updated plan to execute in case you lose your job, or leave a job on your own terms to search for a better opportunity.     Looking 🔎 for a new job or to transition your #career? We can help. Contact Job Transitions for a free resume review and initial consultation. https://lnkd.in/exYBfPt #resume #layoffs #jobseekers     

Would you agree that right now, a third of your employees would negotiate to keep jobs? Yes right now, employees are showing they're willing to negotiate to keep their jobs as the employment market becomes more favorable for employers and the cost of living goes up, according to a Resume Builder survey, which found close to a third of employees say they'd take a pay reduction or demotion to avoid getting laid off. Employers should be honest about the reason for layoffs and help employees adjust to their next career move because companies reducing employment now will likely need to replenish their workforce when economic conditions change, says Stacie Haller, chief career adviser at Resume Builder.

As someone who has put their blood, sweat, and tears into building a company for close to 8 years, I sympathize with other company leaders who are true to what they do and have to make the hard decision to not only lay off employees but do away with what they have worked so hard to bring to life. They don’t want to let these awesome people go, but they did all they could. They don’t want to close up shop but can’t afford to keep the doors open. They really hope for a miracle, but without one, it's on to drafting and submitting the WARN notice. I know you couldn’t help this part of the process, leader, but you can make a world of difference with this part: providing support for your outgoing employees. Our HR Support Services firm, Jobready2dey, has all the tools necessary via our outplacement service to help your team reach their targets during the job hunt. And don’t worry. We can make this happen without breaking the bank. Schedule a consultation with us today to get started. #outplacement #hr #layoffs #humanresources #jobready2dey
