Made Redundant? Here's the Exact 7-Step Strategy to Land Your Next Role

You don't have to navigate redundancy alone. And you don't have to figure out what comes next without a plan.
If you're a senior career woman with 15-plus years of experience and you've just been made redundant, or you think you might be in the next couple of months, this episode is for you.
In this episode of the Career Confidence Podcast, I break down the exact seven-step playbook I’ve been using to help women go from redundancy back to employment, often with significant pay increases and roles they genuinely love.
One woman sent her CV to her dream company and heard nothing for four weeks. Two weeks after following this process, she landed the role with a 40K pay increase.
Another woman repositioned her LinkedIn profile, and within 48 hours, a recruiter reached out about a role she actually wanted.
This isn't luck. It's strategy.
The job market has changed. AI is now embedded in most ATS systems, screening applications before a human ever sees them. Recruiters are using LinkedIn's AI-powered search tools to find candidates. And more roles are being filled through referrals and networks than ever before.
So if you're just sending the same CV to every job board and hoping for the best, you're making your job search so much harder than it needs to be.
This episode walks you through the seven steps that actually work right now. Get clear on what you want next. Engage your network. Package your value correctly. Map your market. Reach out to stand out. Build your visibility. And prep for the interview like your career depends on it.
Because here's the thing. If you've been made redundant, it has nothing to do with your skills, your capability, or your talent. But how you navigate what comes next will determine how quickly you land your next role and whether it's the right one.
In this episode:
Why the job market has changed and what's working now
How to get clear on what you actually want next, not just what's available

How to map your market and identify the top five to ten companies you want to work for
Why reaching out on LinkedIn after applying can get you an interview within 48 hours
How one woman landed her dream role with a 40K pay increase by reaching out to one person in her network
Why building visibility online is now career currency
How hiring managers are now looking at what you post on LinkedIn as part of their hiring process
Why your reputation is your resume in 2027 and beyond
How to prep for interviews so you show up confident, clear and compelling
Why following up after an interview can be the difference between getting the offer or not
One of the biggest takeaways from this episode?
More opportunities come from people than job boards.
Your network, your visibility, and your ability to reach out strategically will open more doors than sending hundreds of generic applications ever will.
If you follow this plan consistently and don't get in your own head, you will land the offer.
