Personalized approach:

After facing retrenchment or layoff our most rapid reflexion is a randomized circulation of our CV to all our friends, relatives, colleagues to get a job as soon as possible. However, it becomes our biggest mistake. Even after having experience and proper skills we didn’t get any response. The reason behind this is; in current juncture for getting good position companies to expect the more personalized proposal from your side. They want to move stepwise from your cover letter to detailed Curriculum vitae, from initiation to intricate interviews for getting the whole story. Most importantly you have just one chance for each company so it is up to you conquer it or leave it.

So, try to send more customized cover letters and CVs to different companies following the company requirements. Include the relevant keywords and your achievements.

Explanation of layoff

Most of the employers will ask you the reason of you’re laid off. So, make sure that you have a proper explanation for your retrenchment. Retrenchment is not a new concept and all the companies know that even good employees can be laid off. So, first make a point and try to be on it without deviation, over-expressing or hiding the truth is not advisable. Try not to badmouth about the previous company in place of strengthening your candidature it can backfire and can draft a negative impact on the employer.

Recreate

After getting ready with your skill-set try to recreate your position and find some similar type of organizations so that you can apply for the positions you are expert at. 

For example: being a laid-off contract-based teacher is searching for a teaching position at another school for teaching the same subject. 
Generally, a re-creator is a candidate who creates strong bonds with his coworkers, friends, and bosses. These bonds help them in recreating the magic in a short period. Extroverts and talkative people are good at this. If you have some quality connections in some similar companies it will definitely help you in getting a job.

Salary ego

As I have already told you we are young India. We always want to see growth in position, skills, learning or salary. We hardly accept any decrease. However, rejecting a job offer in such a crucial time which can make you learn a lot of new things and can add more skills in you due to the less salary in comparison to your last employer is not an intellectual decision.

Avoid the pressure for some instances and try to question yourself.

Can you miss the first stair in the hope of reaching the top?

Your answer will be an obvious no. So, put your salary ego aside and restart your carrier soon so that you can move faster in the way as compared to others. In such a crucial time your small no can make you feel regret. So, grab your first job and if not satisfied keep exploring. 

Repurpose

If you are not getting the job in your area explore some other domains and try not to stick your specialization or comfort zone because during retrenchment companies laid off many of their specialists and all are your competitors. So, some explore new domains and repurpose yourself so that you can get something to start with soon. Going into finance and entrepreneur setup could be best. In fact, by following such a way you can establish yourself as a job giver, not a seeker. We have many examples showing that leaving a brighter carrier behind for a startup can lead you to another height in place of the entire fathomable struggle.

Conclusion

Retrenchment, layoff or laid off all are the name of removing employees may be due to mergers, economic slowdown, production downfall, bankruptcy, some bonds or their work inefficiencies. No one is ready to face layoff it is not only challenging but also dreadful for candidates however it is the bitter truth because as our economy is growing job market is being dependent upon the economy so the number of jobs is now dependent on the rise or fall in the economy.
