Laid off after a real career? Start with your runway, not your resume.
A free 14-day plan for experienced professionals. What to check in the first 72 hours, how many weeks you really have, and the 5 resume fixes that stop age signals from filtering you out.
What's inside
- The first 72 hours. What to check before you sign anything, health coverage options, and unemployment. Information, not legal advice.
- Your runway in 10 minutes. One simple table, and 3 dates that turn panic into decisions: Plan A, Plan B, Plan C.
- Your 30-second "why I left" answer. A structure that sounds calm and confident, not bitter.
- 20 warm contacts and 3 messages to send. For experienced people, many roles get filled through someone who already knows your work.
- 5 resume fixes for experienced pros. The quiet details that signal age to software and rushed screeners.
- LinkedIn in 20 minutes, plus a 14-day checklist you can print or tick on your phone.
Who it's for
You were laid off after 10, 15, 20 years or more. You're good at your job. You just haven't looked for one in a long time, and the advice out there was written for 24-year-olds sending 500 applications.
This plan gives you the order of things: protect the downside first, know your deadline, then talk to the right people.
