One thing I recommend in this situation is forming alumni groups if they don't already exist. Regardless of whether it's layoffs or through just reaching the end of your journey it's a great time to form and/or retain your community.
I'm part of several alumni groups on slack and they continue to be one of the most important networks for all kinds of opportunities. Way way better than Linked In.
Essentially all the trust benefits and social capital of being part of the corporate tribe continue beyond the end of employment.
Edit: fix really long sentence
- cableshaft 4y agoYeah, this is a good idea. There's one guy at my previous job that invites all former coworkers to hang out at a bar a couple times a year, and we get together and catch up. Not too many, just about 10 people end up showing up, but it's enough. I haven't used it for a new job yet, although it did get me an interview.
