What’s the fastest way to regain momentum?

Pick one role family, rewrite three bullets with measurable outcomes, run an honest ATS baseline, and send 5–8 calibrated messages weekly.

How should I handle age bias or career gaps?

Lead with outcomes and scope, calibrate comp early, and show currency via proof-of-work. Gaps become narrative bridges when paired with evidence.

Is there a free way to start?

Yes—take the Career Clarity Quiz and run a free honest ATS baseline.

Laid Off from a Big Name? You’re Not Alone

Restructuring waves have hit across tech—whether at TCS, Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, or elsewhere. The badge changed; your value didn’t.

Being laid off isn’t failure. Going back to misalignment is.

Why a Layoff Can Be Leverage

🔄 You step off autopilot and can redesign your lane.
🔍 Reflection replaces reaction—you pick a direction, not just a job.
🚀 You can pivot into future-fit roles instead of familiar ruts.
🎯 Urgency fuels focused shipping, not scattered effort.

Your 7-Day Reset

Admin & care: severance/benefits, 60-day budget, sleep and routine.
Proof-of-work dump: wins, dashboards, code/decks (remove confidential data).
Reflection: run WisGrowth prompts to surface energy patterns and repeatable outcomes.
Role hypotheses: 2–3 problems + audiences + outcomes you want to own.
One artifact: something shippable in a week that proves a hypothesis.

Post-Layoff Best Practices

🧠 Keep a 3-line value summary tied to target outcomes.
📄 Rewrite bullets to show impact (time, quality, cost, risk, revenue, adoption).
🔎 Run an honest ATS check; mirror target language without stuffing.
📬 Weekly cadence: 2 artifacts, 5 warm conversations, 5 tailored applications.

Mass-applying is noise. Portfolios + conversations create signal.
