If you’ve been laid off, please let me tell you something.
The best chances for landing your next gig are not through LinkedIn, Indeed, or anything like that. It’s through the people you’ve worked with before.
Start there. Keep checking in with them periodically. Don’t worry that you’ll be a bother, because they’d want the same from you.
And please, PLEASE be gentle on yourself. Job hunting and interviewing is hard and a deeply flawed, chaotic process.
Yup it works for the head of the BBC knowing Boris, so it will work for anyone.
If they can do this, so can we, a lot of jobs are down to who you know, hence you keep in touch with old colleagues. The difference is we can be open and transparent about this too, and have no problem with that.
