Your Fastest Job Search Plan

After speaking to more than 100 professionals who were laid off in the last three months, we noticed a powerful pattern: the people who landed interviews the fastest absolutely nailed their first four weeks. Instead of panic-applying to 200 jobs on day one, they used Week 1 to rest, process the layoff, and build a clear story about what happened, what they bring, and what they want next. This reset created clarity that saved them months of confusion later.

By Week 2, they focused on positioning. They weren’t “open to anything” or juggling five different titles. They picked one specific, aligned role where their strengths truly shine and that single decision shaped every conversation that followed.

In Week 3, they shifted into visibility. They started showing up on LinkedIn, reconnected with peers, managers, and mentors, and made sure the market remembered them. Only in Week 4 did they begin applying for jobs, strategically. Instead of sending 100+ random applications, they focused on 20-30 high-quality, well-aligned roles.

The difference was huge: those who rushed often stayed stuck for 6-8 months, while the ones who reset, positioned, and showed up landed interviews within 4-6 weeks. Your comeback after a layoff isn’t about luck; it’s about what you do in those first few weeks.
