Layoff Recovery Kit

Layoff Recovery Kit

Losing your job can feel like a punch to the gut, especially in today’s climate where layoffs seem to be making headlines regularly. In January 2025 alone, U.S.-based employers announced nearly 50,000 job cuts, a 28% increase from the previous month. Industries like technology and retail have been particularly hard-hit, with companies such as Meta and Wayfair reducing their workforces. If you’ve recently found yourself among those affected, know that you’re not alone. 

This guide is here to help you navigate the path to recovery, with plenty of resources to help you get back on your feet! 

Signs a layoff is imminent

If you notice these red flags at work, it’s time to start job hunting ASAP:

1️⃣ Overloading You with Work – If you’re suddenly given an unmanageable workload, it might be a setup to justify letting you go for not completing everything.

2️⃣ Documenting Everything – Being asked to detail every task and process could mean they’re preparing for your departure and need a record of what you do.

3️⃣ Low Performance Review Scores – If you receive less than a three, it may be part of a strategy to document reasons for termination.

4️⃣ Being Put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) – If this happens, you need to start looking for a new job immediately.

5️⃣ Setting You Up to Fail – This includes assigning tasks outside your expertise or implementing policies that make your job harder.

How to protect yourself during layoff szn

If you’re losing sleep wondering if you’re next, here are seven things you should do right now to stay prepared:

1️⃣ Keep Your Resume Updated – You don’t want to miss out on an opportunity because your resume isn’t ready.

2️⃣ Track Your Tasks & Accomplishments – Many employees get locked out of their work computers without warning. Keep a record of your achievements somewhere safe.

3️⃣ Stay Active on LinkedIn – A dormant profile won’t attract recruiters or opportunities.

4️⃣ Continue Networking – Don’t be the person who only reaches out when they need a job—build connections before you need them.

5️⃣ Turn on Job Alerts – Even if you’re not actively looking, staying aware of who’s hiring can give you a head start.

6️⃣ Build an Emergency Fund – Aim for 3-6 months of expenses to cushion a job loss.

7️⃣ Have a Second Income Stream – Relying solely on your employer is risky. A side hustle or extra income can provide security.

What to do in the first 48 hours

If you’ve just been laid off, here are the three most important steps to take immediately:

1️⃣ File for Unemployment – Apply as soon as possible through your state’s Department of Labor website, as processing can take time.

2️⃣ Review Your Insurance Options – If you had employer-provided health insurance, you may qualify for COBRA, which lets you keep the same coverage—but at full cost to you. Be cautious of scams and wait for official communication from your employer.

3️⃣ Examine Your Severance Package – Carefully review any severance agreement for clauses like: 

    • Non disclosure: Thou shall not talk about the work you did
    • Non competes: Thou shall not work at competitors
    • Non disparagement: Thou shall not talk shit about us
    • Release of claims: Thou shall not sue us

While not always predatory, it’s best to consult a lawyer if you see them. 

Setting up your resume after a layoff

We’re often made to feel like layoffs are a personal failing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. 

A layoff is just one day out of your entire career, so don’t let it take up too much space on your resume!

Step 1: Find the right template for you—whether you’re a seasoned professional or a recent grad, I’ve got 10 free templates ready to go.

Grab your free resume template here! Don’t worry, there’s a quiz on the downloads page that will help you choose the right one!

Step 2: Address the layoff—quickly and professionally. A layoff is the company’s fault, not yours, so it only deserves three words on your resume.

If you’re using my templates, this is already done for you!

Tailoring your resume to this job market

Here’s a smarter approach to tailoring your resume:

1️⃣ Identify the job titles you’re targeting. For example, if you work in marketing, you might be applying for Content Manager, Social Media Manager, or Market Research roles.

2️⃣ Gather 3–5 job descriptions for each title.

3️⃣ Use AI to analyze the job descriptions and summarize the top 15 hard skills required for each role.

Here is the exact prompt I recommend: I want to write one resume that suits these three job descriptions, can you summarize the requirements for the following job descriptions into one list? Please include education and years of service requirement, along with the top 15 hard skills:

4️⃣ Update your resume to reflect those key skills in your summary and bullet points—ensuring your resume is already tailored for future applications.

By following this process, your resume will be relevant without constant rewrites, saving you time and increasing your chances of landing interviews.

Quantifying your accomplishments

If you’re applying like everyone else, you’re probably struggling to land interviews. Here’s how we’re fixing your resume to help you stand out:

1️⃣ Half of your competition isn’t even qualified – many people rely on AI to apply, which means their applications don’t meet the minimum qualifications. For you, this means to focus on quality over quantity of applications. 

2️⃣ Most resumes lack impact – Only 26% of applicants use impact-driven bullet points with at least five metrics. If your resume is just listing responsibilities, you’re blending in, not standing out.

3️⃣ You don’t need perfect data—just reasonable estimates – If you’re unsure about metrics, think: Would my manager back this up? If the answer is yes, add it!

If you need some examples of metrics to include, check out this page!

Simply shifting from quantity to quality and adding measurable impact puts you ahead of most applicants.

Reviving your LinkedIn profile

Your LinkedIn profile is likely due for a serious refresh. Here are five quick things you can do today to bring it back to life:

1️⃣ Update your banner and headshot – That old college photo isn’t cutting it anymore. A professional, up-to-date image makes a huge difference.

2️⃣ Fix your tagline – Don’t let it default to just your job title and company name. Instead, optimize it for the roles you want using keywords that recruiters actually search for.

3️⃣ Turn on “Open to Work” – Let recruiters know you’re available without making it public to your current employer.

4️⃣ Fill out your work experience – Don’t just list your job title and company. Think like a marketer—use industry-specific phrases that will help you show up in recruiter searches.

5️⃣ Optimize your skills section – You can add up to 100 skills, so take advantage of this. Skip generic ones like “leadership” and “Microsoft Teams” and instead focus on highly specific, job-relevant skills.

Engaging your network
(without begging)

Here’s how to re-engage your network and get job recommendations—even if your LinkedIn has been collecting dust.

1️⃣ Update your LinkedIn profile – Before reaching out, make sure your profile is polished and optimized. (Check out yesterday’s video for tips!)

2️⃣ Start small with personal messages – Reach out to former coworkers, mentors, or work besties privately before making a public post. This approach is more personal and has a better chance of getting a response.

Example Message: I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to share a quick update—unfortunately, I was recently laid off and am now looking for my next opportunity. If you hear of any roles in [industry or job function], I’d really appreciate any leads or connections. I’m also attaching my most recent resume if that gives you any ideas!

Thanks so much, and I hope we can catch up soon!

3️⃣ Make a public post strategically – If you don’t get leads through DMs, it’s time to post on LinkedIn. Thanks to your recent activity, the algorithm will help boost your post. Be clear about:

  • What happened (layoff, job search, career transition)

  • What roles you’re looking for

  • A call to action (e.g., asking for intros, connections, or for them to share your post)

Example Message: Like many others in today’s job market, I recently experienced a layoff. While this isn’t the news I hoped to share, I’m choosing to see it as an opportunity to explore what’s next.
 

I’m now actively searching for my next role in [industry or job function], where I can leverage my skills in [key skills] to make an impact. If you know of any opportunities or connections that might be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!

I’m grateful for the experiences and relationships I’ve built so far, and I’m excited for what’s ahead. If you’re in a similar situation, know that you’re not alone—happy to connect and support each other however we can!

Choosing your job boards

Did you know the job boards you use can make or break your job search? Some are filled with outdated listings, while others are goldmines for remote opportunities. As someone who has helped hundreds of people land remote jobs, here are my top picks:

Built In – Perfect for those looking for jobs at tech companies, even if you’re not in a tech role. Be mindful that these companies can be volatile, but they offer tons of opportunities.

Remote.co – This board has the most remote healthcare roles I’ve seen. Pro tip: Avoid the subscription trap—skip the signup button and head straight to the remote job board tab for free listings. 

NoDesk – The best site for digital nomads. These aren’t just remote jobs—they’re work-from-anywhere jobs.

Ladders – Requires a subscription, but it’s worth it because you can filter out jobs that don’t meet your salary expectations. And you didn’t hear this from me… but you can browse job listings for free and then apply directly on the company’s career page. 😉

Flexa – If you’re looking for remote jobs in Europe, this is where you need to be!

Mastering the cold application

By the time most job seekers get to the actual application, they’re burned out—and I get it. But because the job market is so competitive, here are three things you cannot afford to phone in:

1️⃣ Manually Enter Your Experience – Yes, it’s annoying to upload your resume and type it all out again. But some recruiters only look at applications, while others check resumes. Copy and paste your details so you don’t miss an opportunity just because Workday hasn’t fixed their system yet.

2️⃣ Avoid Bad AI Use – Bulk-apply services and AI-generated cover letters aren’t helping you. When I posted a freelance job recently, I got four identical AI-written cover letters—guess how many of them got hired? (None.)

3️⃣ Stop Chasing Useless Referrals – It’s better to submit a high-quality cold application than to message 20 random employees who can’t actually help you get hired. If you’re being a nuisance, you’re probably hurting your chances.

240 Metrics For Your Resume

Impactful Metrics For Your Resume

Why do we need metrics anyway?

You’ve likely heard it a thousand times before – you need quantifiable metrics on your resume. 

But why? 

We don’t add metrics just for the sake of it, we have to remember that employers are paying for a service, and just like you, they want to get the best bang for their buck! 

Let’s say you’re on the hunt for a new pet sitter, and they’ll be staying in your home for a week. Would you prefer the person who mentions they’ve already done this exact task for 20 households in your city? Or would you prefer the person who simply says that they love pets and are willing to house sit for anyone? 

My guess is you chose the first person. Why? 

Because they’ve proven that they can do exactly what we are asking for. 

If a job description specifically says they’re looking for someone who has managed $250K+ budgets before, you can bet the job seekers who include an exact budget amount will be the ones receiving a call back. 

Essentially, metrics on your resume are the best ways to show what kind of return on investment they will get in exchange for your salary. 

your secret weapon to stand out

A study by Cultivated Culture found that only 26% of all resumes included five or more metrics, which means it’s a super easy way to stand out amongst the throng of other job seekers. 

One of the most common retorts I hear against metrics is this – “I don’t have any metrics”. 

But I’ll make you a promise right now – you absolutely do

When it comes to adding quantitative metrics to your resume, guestimating is your friend, and outright lying is not. 

Here’s my rule of thumb for estimates: If the recruiter were to call your old manager and ask if it’s true that you sold $20K of merchandise in one day, would your old manager laugh? Or would they say “Yes, that’s fair.”?

If the answer is the ladder, then it’s okay to include the metric. 

Another trick for when you’re estimating is to make it clear that it’s an estimate. Here are some examples I’ve used before: 

  • Supported an estimated 10K+ end users (This is great for examples with large numbers.)
  • Sold upwards of $10K+ in merchandise in a single day (This works well when you remember a high point, such as total sales on Black Friday.)
  • Annotated between five and 15 customer phone calls per day (This works well when the work looks different every day, but you’re pretty certain on the averages.)
If you’d like to check out 100 examples of bullet points I’ve written (including metrics), check out my blog post!

You don't have to do this alone.

I know just how overwhelming the job search can be, especially when you’re constantly hearing about layoffs, conflicting advice, and that you won’t get a job if you don’t pay hundreds (or thousands) on a resume writer. 

That’s why I made Hire Power. I’ve worked with thousands of job seekers who have felt the exact same way you have, and I wanted to create a resource that empowered them to take charge of the job search on their own.

ChatGPT Prompts You Need For Your Resume

Stop Using ChatGPT On Your Resume

(Incorrectly)

There is no limit to clickbait posts and articles about recruiters rejecting job seekers *because* they used ChatGPT, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.

No one is rejecting AI users, but they are rejecting users who aren’t using AI correctly.

The incorrect way to use ChatGPT:
🤖 “Write me a resume for a Project Manager”
🤖 “Write me some bullet points for my resume”
🤖 “Write a resume for someone applying to Project Management roles”

When you give ChatGPT nothing, it’s going to give you nothing back. It can not possibly write a *good* resume when given so little information.

The best thing about your resume is well… you! ChatGPT is collecting data from hundreds of thousands of data points, but it does not have any data on you unless you provide it! 

Instead of asking very general questions, we’re going to ask tailored questions for each section of our resume. 

For better bullet points: 

  • Can you write impact-oriented bullet points for a *Current Job Title* with the following responsibilities? *Add your list of everything you’ve done at your role*
  • Can you write impact-oriented bullet points for a *Current Job Title* who is interested in applying to “Future Job Title*?
  • Can you make those bullet points more concise? (ChatGPT often makes them a tad bit too long)

For my career changers: 

  • I’m switching from a career in *Job Title* to a career in *Future Job Title*, what are some transferrable skills I can highlight on my resume?

For a good cover letter:

  • Write me a cover letter for the following job description that uses hard-skill focused bullet points instead of a large body paragraph.
  • Can you make the tone more/less formal?

For your skills section: 

  • What are the top 10 hard skills in the following job description?
  • What are the top 10 hard skills needed to be a *Future Job Title*?

For more metrics:

  • What are some examples of metrics I can include on my resume as a *Job Title*?
  • What metrics are important to showcase on my resume as someone trying to get a job as a *Future Job Title*?

At the end of the day, ChatGPT is an insanely helpful tool. Just like any other tool, if you don’t know *how* to use it, you might find that it does more harm than good. Picture your Roomba going rogue and devouring your blanket because you didn’t understand the settings. 

If you’ve used these prompts and are now on the hunt for a resume template that showcases all your amazing accomplishments – grab your free copy below!

Don't Forget To Grab Your Free Resume Template!

There’s no doubt about it – the job market is competitive right now. So, you’ll need all the right resources for your job search in order to stand out!

What's Going On With Remote Work?

In what seems like the blink of an eye, remote work became commonplace with the Covid-19 pandemic. In the years since, we’ve heard organizations promise their employees that they’ll be staying remote moving forward… but many didn’t mean it.
