The Job Loss Kit
This wasn't yours to control, and today isn't for solving everything. Let's steady the ground first.
Laid off — steady the ground, then rebuild.
Opening the kit…
This organizes the steps and drafts the messages. It isn't legal or financial advice — for severance, benefits, or money decisions, it points you to the right professional.
Draft this
Written in your own voice
A note telling your network you're looking
An "open to work" post
An outreach message asking for an intro
A resume summary starting point
What I’ll need
Kept once, reused across kits
Names, personal emails, who's agreed to vouch for you.
Response windows, coverage end, filing deadlines.
What's fixed, what can pause, how long it stretches.
Where you'd genuinely like to land.
Kits hold structure, not advice. Nothing here is medical, legal, or financial guidance.
