Losing your job can affect much more than your bank balance.
Whether you've recently been made redundant, your contract has ended or you're worried about losing your job, you might be finding the experience harder than you expected.
Perhaps you're struggling to motivate yourself to look for work.
Maybe you're feeling angry, anxious or completely overwhelmed.
Or you simply can't understand why updating your CV suddenly feels like such an enormous task.
In this episode of The Careerology Podcast, Dr Claire Wrynne explores the emotional impact of job loss and explains why moving straight into job-search mode isn't always as easy as it sounds.
Drawing on the KĂźbler-Ross Change Curve, Claire discusses:
- âWhy losing a job can feel like a form of grief - even if you didn't particularly enjoy the job.
- âThe different emotional reactions you might experience following redundancy.
- âWhy there's no fixed timetable for coming to terms with job loss.
- âHow to recognise when you might need additional support.
- âHow to begin looking towards your next chapter without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.
If you've recently lost your job, are facing redundancy or know somebody who's going through it, this episode offers some perspective, reassurance and practical encouragement.
Because losing your job doesn't mean you've lost your future.
