He started by thanking everyone that helped him, and finished off by offering to \u201cpay it forward\u201d. His post was sent to me by one of our listeners and I loved it. Alistair described the rejections he received, the ghosting he got from some recruiters, but also pointed out the power of networking and that it had been fun for him to reconnect with great relationships he had lost touch with over time.\nIt is rare for someone to share redundancy stories so I didn\u2019t think twice, immediately contacted Alistair and invited him to be interviewed for this podcast. And I am so happy he agreed, because he had so much more to say, and a few surprises that I really enjoyed hearing about, and I hope that you will enjoy it too.\nAlistair\u2019s story of redundancy may be unique, but there are many lessons to be learned here, such as:\nto use the disruption of the redundancy to re-evaluate your lifestyle;\nto be open to new sectors and opportunities\nto have a positive mindset while job hunting, because it is a stressful experience.\nSo if you are wondering how Alistair dealt with his redundancy, where he is now and what he learned in the process, listen up!\n \nReferences I have made in this episode:\nAlistair\u2019s LinkedIn Post\n \nSubscribe and Review!\nClick here to subscribe on iTunes\nClick here to subscribe on Spotify\nClick here to subscribe on Podbean\nClick here to sign up for my newsletter and get them in your inbox weekly.\n \nOther ways to enjoy this episode:\nJoin The Job Hunting Podcast Private Facebook Group: This group is a community of people who are willing to help each other, provide support, accountability, and connection for those who are job seeking or are career enthusiasts. \nDownload a transcript of this episode\n \nThank you so much for your support!\nCiao for now\nRB\n \n \nMusic:Ohayo by Smith The Mister https://smiththemister.bandcamp.comSmith The Mister https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5z...Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/_ohayoMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/bzCw4RyFqHo","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/9a4ccb2d-219c-4488-874a-abf715ca86d7/LTJlwI6D3gaawCwwqO-fn9J9.jpg"}
