To all of my Intel friends who are embarking upon their next chapter in the coming week or month. Here are a few things I’ve been thinking and talking to others about. I hope you find it helpful. Not sure if taking a package was a good idea? Myths: •My job was too specialized •I won’t make as much money •I don’t know how to interview Reality: •Your job may have been specific, but your skills are broad. Things like pace, agility and results-orientation are invaluable to every hiring manager on “the outside.” •Maybe you won’t make as much (at first), but it is amazing how much your happiness is worth. •Searching for a job is no fun, but working at Intel taught us how to advocate for ourselves. Do you remember the phrase, “you own your own employability?” For those of you who remember “ranking and rating,” and writing your IPS, brag sheet or whatever they call it these days, you’ve been interviewing at least once a year! Take it from me, there is indeed life after Intel. Welcome to the Club!

This week I read that 15,000 people are being laid off from Intel. When we read statistics like that it's natural to wonder "How I am going to find a job and what do I need to do to stand out from the crowd?" Below is how one of my clients recently found a new job in just six weeks. Yes, you read that right. In this tough market she found a job in six weeks. What happened that allowed her to find a new job so quickly? 1)    Confidence: She worked through the thoughts and emotions that could hold her back and then, with renewed confidence, she made herself highly visible. She didn’t hide the fact that she was out of a job. She confidently posted on social media. She made it easy for people to share her posts and recommend her to people. She even created a website and posted articles and opinions related to her area of expertise there and on Linked In. 2)   Commitment: She focused her job search on a very narrow scope of work. She knows exactly what she loves to do, what she is best at accomplishing, and where she can make the biggest difference for a company. Her messages, resume and Linked In profile are all very clear, consistent and relevant to her expertise. In other words, she made it easy for Recruiters and HR Managers to find her and match her up exactly to what they were looking for...someone committed to making an impact. 3)    Connection: She keeps up with a strong network of people she knows, likes, and trusts and who know like and trust her. Her network isn't only people from work relationships. She connects with family, friends, people she has met at industry events. Every day during her job search she was on the phone, meeting people for coffee or lunch. In other words, networking for a job became her job. She made it easy for people to think of her when a job opportunity appeared. You may have heard someone claim that there is no more job security. What that statement is actually referring to is job longevity. Job security isn't based on how loyal an employer is or how long we decide to stay at one job before moving on in order to move up. True job security is always available as long as you have what I refer to as the 3 Cs of a successful career: Confidence, Commitment, and Connections. Do you know the status of your 3-Cs? If you think that you could be missing something, message me or click on the link in the comments and schedule an introductory call. I'll walk you through the 10 questions that I use to help people recognize where they need to work. If it turns out that we might be a good coaching partnership we can talk about that as well. If not, you will have the information that you can use as a starting point to build permanent job security for yourself. Great things are happening right now. Let's get going!

Musings and opinions on my life post Intel. Leaving Intel after 24 years was tough. I felt like I knew everyone on campus, and it was like a second home to me. Despite changing roles, I enjoyed the stability of staying in Folsom, shuttle trips to the Bay Area, or working from home. But my time at Intel has ended. Here are my thoughts for anyone in a similar situation. 1.     Panic for a day, and then realize that leaving companies / being laid off happens to most people in the tech industry. In nearly all my interviews people commented how surprised they were I made it 24 years as that is not the new normal. 2.     Take a couple of weeks (at least) and do nothing. Decompress. Work in your yard. Go for walks. Play golf. Ride your bike. Whatever, just let your mind go to some new places for a while. 3.     If you do want / need to be back in the workforce, after your two weeks “off”, make finding a job a job. Every day do something. Maybe it is nothing more than reading up on your field or a new field but do something. Get a new certificate, read a whitepaper, play with that new video editing software you have. Just do something. 4.     Activate your network. This is critical. You might be surprised by how extensive your network is, but remember, your network isn’t paid to find you a job. Engage with people to understand the job market, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and seek roles that match your skills. Instead of asking your network to notify you of openings, approach them with specific job opportunities and discuss your fit. Request recommendations or introductions to hiring managers or team members. Just don’t expect them to secure a job for you 5.     Be prepared for a long process. For those of us that have been at a company for a long time the job hunt is VERY different than it was. Be prepared for 5+ interviews for every position. Be prepared to create and present out select topics to panels. Be prepared for everything. 6.     Recruiters. Hmmm. This might not be very popular, but the vast majority that I interacted with did not leave a good taste in my mouth. I was ghosted by the majority after they contacted me. I never made it past initial calls with any of them, but a couple (you know who you are) were very engaging and tried to help. Overall, this experience has been positive. It pushed me to reassess my path and make a small course correction to align with my past goals. I wouldn’t have done this if I stayed at Intel. Life happens, and it usually works out. Good luck to all, and I’m here if you want to chat
