As we all brace for 9/16, I hope aren’t impacted. But, if you feel like you might be, I wanted to share a few thoughts that might help:
- Prioritize Your Health: Make sure you and your family take care of any medical, dental, and eye appointments while you can.
- Use Your Perks: Don’t forget to use up any “Connected Recognition” funds—it’s a small thing, but it’s something.
- Check Your Finances: Take a close look at your finances. Maybe cut back on non-essential expenses and subscriptions to ease any stress later.
- Get Your Resume Ready: Now might be a good time to update your resume and reach out to your LinkedIn connections for referrals.
- Lean on Loved Ones: Talk to your family and friends about how you’re feeling. Let them know how they can support you emotionally—it’s not just about the money.
- Give Yourself a Break: If things do change, consider taking a little time off before jumping into the job search. You deserve a moment to breathe.
- Stay Positive: This situation is tough, but try not to let it get you down. Stay focused on what truly matters to you, and keep moving forward.
