Redundancy Isn’t the End — It’s Your Career Reboot
Redundancy can feel like a sudden stop. But what if it’s actually a strategic pause — a chance to recalibrate, refocus, and relaunch your career with intention?
At Career Velocity, we believe every transition holds the potential for transformation. I’ve lived this firsthand. And now, I help others turn setbacks into stepping stones.
The Emotional Whiplash
Losing a role — especially one tied to your identity — can trigger grief, shame, or confusion. These feelings are valid. But they don’t define your future.
Career Velocity Tip: Give yourself permission to feel, then commit to move.
Reframing Redundancy
Redundancy isn’t personal. It’s structural. And while it may feel like rejection, it’s often a reflection of business shifts — not your worth.
Instead of asking “Why me?”, ask “What now?”
What strengths do I want to leverage?
What values matter most in my next role?
What kind of impact do I want to make?
Strategic Recovery Steps
Pause with Purpose — Reflect before reacting. Journal, walk, or speak with a coach.
Audit Your Assets — Skills, achievements, networks — you have more than you think.
Craft Your Career Story — Frame your transition as a growth chapter, not a gap.
Rebuild with Intention — Update your CV, LinkedIn, and outreach strategy.
Seek Support — Coaching, community, and connection accelerate recovery.
