Career Clarity — What Now? How to Reassess Your Career Direction After Redundancy
When a role ends, it’s tempting to rush straight into the next one. But without clarity, you risk stepping into another version of what you just left. True career momentum begins not with action, but reflection.
At Career Velocity, we see career clarity as the bridge between loss and leadership — the space where purpose meets practicality.
The Clarity Gap
After redundancy, your identity can feel blurred. You may know what you did, but not why it mattered. That’s the clarity gap — the space between skills and significance.
Career Velocity Tip: Before asking “What’s next?”, ask “What matters most?”
Finding Your North
Clarity begins with alignment — your values, strengths, and preferred environment.
Try this quick reset:
Values: List the five that guide you most.
Strengths: Note where others consistently seek your input.
Impact: Describe when you’ve felt most energised at work.
Patterns will emerge — and with them, direction.
From Clarity to Action
Once you can name what you want, you can design how to get there.
• Map ideal roles or industries that align with your strengths
• Identify gaps in skills or confidence
• Set a 90-day focus: one clear direction, one small step weekly
My Journey, Your Invitation
Clarity isn’t a one-time task — it’s a practice. Whether you’re reinventing or refining, knowing what drives you gives every next move purpose.
Career Velocity Tip: When you know your “why,” the “how” becomes obvious.
