1, consider horizontal job-hopping within the company.
Your department may be laying off employees, but other departments may be recruiting employees. Don't forget to consider the subsidiaries or joint ventures of your current employer. Ask if there are any consulting positions. Sometimes a department does not have a full-time job, but it has a certain consulting budget. If you find a consultant who is already familiar with the internal business process, they will benefit a lot.
2. Negotiate your severance payment and the date of resignation.
Severance payments are usually negotiable. Pay attention to the date of your resignation, see how long your insurance period is, how much your retirement account can give you back, or how many days you have taken paid vacation. Don't think that you must sign any agreement at once. Make sure you know your severance pay and don't be afraid to ask questions.
3. Collect contact information for use after leaving the company.
Don't forget to get people's permanent contact information. They may leave the company after you leave, so don't assume that their current company information will always be valid. You will no longer be able to access your office equipment, including the mobile phone provided by your employer, so please make sure to back up your contact information in your personal file.
4. Keep a positive attitude
This is not the time to take a negative attitude towards yourself. Maybe you will regret not starting looking for a job or saving money earlier, but indulging in "if I have" will not help you, it will only aggravate your anxiety and depression. Instead, you should think about the obstacles you have overcome in the past and focus on what can bring you confidence.
5. Enter the job-hunting state in advance.
Don't blindly submit your resume and search crazily just to find something. Yes, you want to find a job, but you also want to find a suitable job. What kind of job is most suitable at present? This may be a temporary job that accepts cash. Maybe it's lateral transfer who is learning some new skills. It may also be a career change that you have always been interested in. One advantage of layoffs is that you have a chance to find a new job. Will you go back to your old job? If you are willing, then you know that you should look for companies in the same industry, the same functional area and the same type. But if you don't want to, then explore what kind of choice will be better and find this better job.
6. Analyze your cash position.
But even so, don't underestimate the time to find a job. You entered the job market with thousands of other job seekers. You probably haven't looked for a job for years. Now that you know what your severance pay is, calculate how much time you have left to find a job. You should set aside at least three months to find a job, so if you don't have enough cash to spend this time, focus on temporary or consulting work to support your cash reserve.
7. Make a positive impression on your manager, colleagues and employees.
Don't forget to thank everyone on the day you really leave your job. Even for those who are not unemployed, they may feel guilty because their former colleagues are in deep trouble and anxious that they may be treated similarly. When you leave your job, your decent performance will show your confidence in persisting in your struggle, and it may also help you win a colleague with a normal relationship.
8. Be prepared to express your experience of being laid off.
When the mass layoffs in your company have made headlines, it is not difficult to sum up your experience. But for those little-known corporate restructuring, you should explain the reasons for layoffs to your acquaintances and potential employers in the future. The statement can be simple-my department has been reorganized, or my position has been shared by two lower-level positions, or my professional position has been moved to the headquarters. Make sure that your explanation is not different from the version provided by your manager or any contact.
The harm of frequent job-hopping
1, the influence on the circle of contacts
As social people, people in the workplace have to face not only simple jobs, but also complex society. You can build your own contacts through work, and the gradually developed contacts become your own resources. This kind of resource is not only conducive to the development of work, but also conducive to the establishment of a rich life. It takes time between people, from strangeness to familiarity, from familiarity to understanding, and from understanding to trust. For people who often change jobs, without this process, after leaving an enterprise, they will slowly lose contact with their former colleagues because of their short contact time. To a new enterprise, we have to face a new circle, and we also need to get to know each other with new colleagues. In this way, I will only leave myself with short experiences of various enterprises and will not establish a solid relationship with my colleagues. In particular, job-hopping across regions not only makes it difficult to contact former colleagues, but also makes your circle of friends more and more unfamiliar. Smaller and smaller circles and narrower contacts will have an impact on your work and life.
2, the impact on professional ability
The core of professional ability is personal professional ability, which is the foundation for a workplace person to stand on the society. Professional ability is reflected in two aspects: one is what your major is, and the other is the length of time you have been engaged in this major. As a professional, it is very important to choose a professional company. If you leave your major, even if you are highly educated, you may not be as competitive as a high school student. Job-hopping to another company, although the work I am engaged in is still my own major, but due to the different situation of the enterprise, the past accumulation can not be connected with the new position, and the impact on myself is quite great. If the positioning of a new enterprise does not conform to its own major, it needs to start all over again, that is to say, starting from scratch will have a greater impact on itself.
3. Influence on professional mentality
People in the workplace should maintain a good professional mentality, which is extremely important for personal growth. What is the professional mentality? It is my basic understanding of the workplace, my basic attitude towards interpersonal relationships in the workplace, and my basic orientation for career development. Many people who change jobs frequently have problems with their career orientation, and they don't know what they want to do or which direction they should develop in the future. Frequent job-hopping, helplessness in the process of resignation, helplessness in re-selection, and rushing back and forth to apply for a new enterprise will greatly affect personal emotions, causing great anxiety in the heart and gradually fear the workplace. Especially cross-regional job-hopping, from a familiar environment to a completely unfamiliar environment, single-handedly, unaccompanied, although ambitious, but the uncertainty about the future will still bring great psychological pressure to yourself.
Reasons for job-hopping
1, vote for relatives and friends. Some private enterprises or some relatives and friends hold important positions in enterprises, and some people jump to other enterprises from the hope of getting higher treatment, or helping friends, or getting a stable position. This is also a normal job-hopping behavior.
2. Find another job. Some enterprises have many talents, and some talents can't get the attention of enterprises for a while, and they are not satisfied with their posts and treatment. They are insignificant in this enterprise, but they are important in other enterprises, and will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities after "job-hopping".
3. Strategic shift. There are some talented people who are reused by enterprises, but the promotion route deviates from the route they imagined, and they are promoted to a position with no development prospects, or a position where they can't give full play to their expertise. If this continues for a long time, they will become dull and waste their talents. He has changed his new job in other enterprises or departments, and his position may be lower than before, and his salary may not be as high as before. Starting from scratch, waiting for the next promotion or after long-term efforts, there will be greater promotion and great risks.
