Talking Layoffs with The TrapRecruiter by Mark Anthony Dyson
The tables turn for this special episode as I serve as a guest on “The Trap Recruiter Show” with my friend and fall co-host, Keirsten Greggs. She asks the questions, and I answer them.
Here are a few of the highlights from our discussion:
- We spend some time discussing the reason for this round of layoffs.
- How carefully must job seekers navigate examining their layoff experience (good or bad) online?
- Are layoffs a reaction to the economy and conversion to call center automation?
- Not every company is like Meta in getting generous separation compensation/benefit packages.
- The “survivor” effect of those not laid off but affected by the aftermath of their separated coworkers.
- Attending conferences as a job seeker puts you in touch with recruiters, employers, and peers.
You are more than welcome to join the discussion. Here are three ways you can:
– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
