Just an update, I got my severance package today and with bonuses and other things its enough to get me through the next three months or so without touching my savings and with EI applied for that should get me through a lot longer with some spending decisions, so I'm not in a financial panic.
I've looked around and there's not a lot of activity happening in terms of new roles in my areas of sales and Business development on the technical side of things (IT), and recruiting roles are going to be a dry well for a while as Companies hold hiring until we know how long this is going to last.
I've decided I'm going to take a few days off from my search. I'll still look at the roles that come through on my alerts for new and interesting things.
But honestly with 45 applications out there and no real meaningful activities or responses all I'm doing is depressing the #### out of myself. So I'm going to take a break until Monday, I'm going to catch up on the sleep that I've been missing. Do some DDP Yoga, connect with friends and family on line and figure out a communications strategy and not panic. I can pay my bills for a few months of which I have very few without panic
Rent, Car, cable, Cellphone and electricity.
I just need a break from the grind of applying knowing I'm not going to hear back on a lot of these things.
I will state here, that if anyone needs a hand with their resume's or with questions around searches or search strategies or tips, that and not to sound like I'm wearing a I'm a hero T-shirt, I'm here to help, ask me anything, PM me, whatever. I'm not charging for resume reviews or cover letter strategies or search strategies. I'd also be willing to set up a free zoom account if people want to chat.
I just need to clear my head a little bit and be good to me.
