Being Furloughed

I’ve just been furloughed and I have such mixed emotions. I don’t even know if the company I am working for will still exist in a few months.

If you have recently been furloughed then it is important to understand as much as possible about the financial and well being support available to you. We won’t really know the lasting economic and labour market impact, but irrespective of this, it makes sense to take stock and re-evaluate your career in terms of the possibilities and opportunities available to you. If you have been in a one industry and role it can be really hard to think about what else you can do, let’s face it - you know what you know and you don’t know what you don’t know. That is really where someone like me comes in, I can critique and challenge you (in a good way) to start to understand more about your current career situation using career coaching techniques get to the heart of what matters to you. It can be really healthy to talk to someone who is impartial and can dedicate their energy and thinking purely about you and your career. Get inspiration by seeing how others are using their furlough and turning it into an opportunity.
