Coping with change
Key Takeaways:
Change in careers is normal now - job security isn’t what it used to be. Being made redundant can feel like a breakup. Sadness, anger, shock and loss of confidence are all completely normal.
Don’t isolate yourself. Reach out to career coaches, support programs or trusted people.
Redundancy isn’t personal - it’s a business or financial decision, not a judgment of your worth or ability. Be kind to yourself, but also take ownership of what comes next. You always have choices, even if they feel limited. Small steps create movement.
Talk openly with partners or family so stress doesn’t build up silently. Avoid falling into a “victim” mindset or believing negative stories (e.g. “no one hires people my age”).Use reliable advisers and evidence, not hearsay.
Job searching takes time. It’s competitive and can be discouraging - momentum and persistence matter. Keep going. The more you engage and apply, the closer you get to the right opportunity. Set clear goals early and lean on your support network throughout the transition.
